The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight and the residue transferred slowly to antic cold solution of 2-amino-5-chloropyridine (9 g, 70 mmol) and pyridine (20 mL) in dichloromethane (200 mL). The reaction was stirred overnight, treated with water, and concentrated. The resulting mixture was treated with ethyl acetate, washed consecutively with aqueous citric acid, saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by recrystallization from toluene to give 17 g (79%) of a white solid.
