A solution of 3-oxo-butyric acid (110 g, 1.25 mol) in dichloromethane (100 mL) was added dropwise while keeping the mixture refluxing. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 2 h. The resulting mixture was basified to pH˜8-9 using sodium carbonate powder. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was extracted with dichloromethane (500 mL×3). The combined organics were dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from ethanol to afford 2-acetylisonicotinonitrile (52.0 g, 71.9%).
