Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 6-methylpyridine-3-carboxylic acid (100 mg, 0.73 mmol) in DCM (2 mL) was added oxalyl chloride (120 μL, 1.46 mmol) and DMF (2 drops). After 2 hours the reaction mixture was concentrated at reduced pressure and the crude product used in subsequent steps without further purification.
