Reaction Steps

A mixture of pyridine-4-carboxylic acid-N-oxide (28 g) and phosphorous oxychloride (120 g) was heated at reflux for 7 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled and poured into ice-water (500 mL). The precipitate was collected and crystallized from a large volume of ethyl acetate and gave 23.1 grams of 2-chloropyridine-4-carboxylic acid as a white granular solid having a melting point of 225°-227° C.
