The solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue is added to a well stirred solution of N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine (12.0 g, 0.2 mol) and triethylamine (10.2 g, 0.1 mol) at 0–5° C. After stirring for 2 hours at room temperature the reaction mixture is washed with water. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure to give 2,6-dichloro-N-methoxy-N-methyl-isonicotinamide in form of colorless crystals, m.p. 69–70° C.
