Procedure

To a solution of 3-(ethoxycarbonylmethoxy)picolinamide (5.1 g, 22.8 mmol) and triethylamine (6.68 ml, 47.9 mmol) in 100 ml of dry methylene chloride is added trifluoroacetic anhydride (6.77 ml, 47.9 mmol), dropwise, at ambient temperature under argon. After stirring for 16 hours, 100 ml of water is added. The organic phase is separated and washed with aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate to neutral pH. After drying over sodium sulfate and evaporation, the residue is purified via flash chromatography on silica gel using a methylene chloride-ethanolic ammonia gradient (99:1 to 95:5) to give 3.90 g of 2-cyano-3-(ethoxycarbonylmethoxy)pyridine (87%).
