Conditions

Temperature: 60 °C

Procedure

To a solution of 4,6-dichloro-nicotinonitrile (1) (200 mg, 1.06 mmol) in methanol (anhydrous, 10 mL) was added sodium methoxide solution (0.5 M/MeOH, 2.12 mL, 1.06 mmol). The reaction was heated at 60° C. overnight. After cooling the reaction solution to room temperature, HCl (1M, 8 mL) was added. The volatile components were evaporated in vacuo. Purification was accomplished by Biotage (10%-50% EtOAc/hexanes gradient mobile phase) to afford 150 mg (77% yield) of the title compound. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) δ ppm 8.48 (s, 1 H), 6.98 (s, 1 H), 4.03 (s, 3 H)
