Procedure

In 100 ml of acetonitrile was dissolved 4.0 g (0.026 mole) of methyl 6-hydroxynicotinate followed by addition of 0.9 ml of triethylamine. The mixture was refluxed and 3.7 ml of phosphorus oxychloride was added dropwise with stirring over a period of 15 minutes. The mixture was further refluxed for 3 hours. After cooling, the acetonitrile was distilled off and the residue was diluted with 20 ml of water and adjusted to pH about 8 with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate. The resulting crystals are collected by filtration, rinsed with water and dried to give 3.6 g of methyl 6-chloronicotinate as pale yellow needles.
