Procedure

To a stirring suspension of 5-methyl-2-nitrobenzoic acid (23.36 g, 129 mmol) in dichloromethane (100 mL) was added a couple of drops of N,N-dimethylformamide followed by oxalyl chloride (12.36 mL, 142 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight and the residue transferred slowly to an ice cold solution of 2-amino-5-chloropyridine (16 g, 126 mmol) and pyridine (30 mL) in dichloromethane (200 mL). The reaction was stirred overnight, treated with water (100 mL), and concentrated. The resulting mixture was treated with ethyl acetate (2 L), washed consecutively with aqueous citric acid, saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by recrystallization from toluene to give 26 g (69%) of a white solid.
