Procedure
To a stirred solution of 5-amino-4-methylnicotinic acid (5.0 g, 32 mmol) in methanol (75 mL), was added conc. H2SO4 (5 mL) slowly at room temperature. The mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 12 h. On completion, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was neutralized with saturated NaHCO3 solution. Extraction was carried out using EtOAc; the combined organic layers were washed with water, brine and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (4.1 g, 75%) which used without further purification.
