The mixture was stirred for 16 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was acidified with 4N HCl to pH 2.5 and THF was evaporated to form a yellow suspension. The suspension was cooled to 0-5° C. and filtered. The crystals were washed with cold water and evaporated to dryness. The desired 5-(3-fluoro-phenylethynyl)-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (1.71 g, 95% yield) was obtained as a light yellow solid, MS: m/e=239.9 (M+H+).
