Procedure

To a solution of 8.05 g (39.1 mmol) of 2,6-dichloro-4-methyl-nicotinic acid [Lamm, G. Ger. Offen. (1977), DE 2538950] in 100 ml of DMF was added 8.10 g (58.6 mmol) of potassium carbonate. While stirring, 12.16 ml=27.7 g (195.4 mmol) of iodomethane was added drop by drop and the reaction mixture was stirred for 6 hours at RT. It was then poured into crashed ice and extracted twice with EtOAc; the organic phases were washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to give 8.47 g (99%) of the title compound as light yellow solid. MS: 219.0 (M+, 2Cl).
