Procedure

To a solution of 5.56 g (22.9 mmol) of 6-phenylpyridine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid and 7 ml (121.8 mmol) of acetic anhydride in 25 ml of dimethoxyethane (DME) is added 3.7 ml (45.7 mmol) of pyridine. A small exotherm ensues, and the anhydride begins to precipitate. After one hour, the reaction mixture is diluted with ether and hexane to the cloud point, chilled in an ice bath, and filtered. The solid is washed with ether to give 4.73 g of the desired anhydride as a white solid, mp 187°-192° C.
