Cl[C:2]1[N:10]=[CH:9][CH:8]=[CH:7][C:3]=1[C:4]([OH:6])=[O:5].Cl.[CH3:12][NH2:13].C(=O)([O-])[O-].[K+].[K+]>CN(C)C=O.[Cu]Br>[CH3:12][NH:13][C:2]1[N:10]=[CH:9][CH:8]=[CH:7][C:3]=1[C:4]([OH:6])=[O:5]30.0 g (0.19 mol) of 2-chloronicotinic acid was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (400 mL), and 31.0 g (0.38 mol) of methylamine hydrochloride, 105 g (0.76 mol) of potassium carbonate, and 2.73 g (19.0 mmol) of copper(I) bromide were added to the solution. The mixture was stirred for 20 hours at 100° C. After the mixture was cooled to room temperature, insoluble materials were filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated. A 10% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide was added to the residue thus obtained, and the mixture was washed with diethyl ether. Concentrated hydrochloric acid was added to the aqueous phase to adjust the aqueous phase to pH 6 to 7, and a solid obtained by concentrating the aqueous phase was dried. Thus, crude 2-(methylamino)nicotinic acid was obtained.
