Procedure

By the procedure of Example 1, 5-chloro-2-methoxypyridine-3-carboxylic acid [Sarges et al., J. Med. Chem. 19, 709 (1976); 10 g.]was converted to its acid chloride, which was added in one portion to 150 ml. of methanol (slight exotherm), then made basic with triethylamine (approximately 1.1 equivalents). The reaction mixture was evaporated to solids and the residue partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with fresh water and then brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to yield title product [9.75 g., m.p. 79°-81° C.; pnmr/CDCl3 /delta (ppm) 3.8 (s, 3H), 4.1 (s, 3H), 8.1 (d, 1H), 8.3 (d, 1H)].
