After cooling, the mixture was washed with water (250 ml). The aqueous layer was then extracted with toluene (3×100 ml). The pooled organic layers were dried with sodium sulphate and evaporated. Distillation of the residue in high vacuo yielded 2-chloro-4-methylnicotinic acid ethyl ester as colourless oil (15.3 g, 64% of theoretical yield) with b.pt.0.04 Torr 97° C.-98° C.
