Procedure

A solution of commercially available (Aldrich) 2,6-dichloro-5-fluoronicotinic acid (5.00 g, 23.8 mmol) in thionyl chloride (15 mL) was heated at reflux for 3 h. After cooling, the solution was concentrated in vacuo to give 2,6-dichloro-5-fluoronicotinoyl chloride as a brown oil which was carried on to the next step without further purification. This transformation can also be accomplished using oxalyl chloride with catalytic DMF in place of thionyl chloride.
