Reaction Steps

A mixture of isonicotinic acid N-oxide (28.0 g, 0.2 mol) and phosphorus oxychloride (120.0 g, 0.8 mol) was heated at reflux for 7 h. The reaction mixture was cooled and carefully poured into 600 mL of ice water. The precipitate was collected by filtration to give 20.6 g (65% yield) of product as a pale yellow solid, mp: 248-249 C (lit: 250-252 C).
