The volatiles were removed by evaporation and the residue was dissolved in methylene chloride. The solution was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and brine, dried (MgSO4) and the solvent removed by evaporation. The residue was purified by column chromatography eluting with ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1/9) to give ethyl 2-chloro-6-methyl-4-pyridinecarboxylate (2 g, 86%).
