Reaction Steps

2-Hydroxynicotinic acid (27 Kg, 194.2 mol) was added portionwise to 30% oleum (58.1 Kg) at 50° C. over 1 hr. This caused an exotherm to 82° C. The reaction mixture was heated further to 140° C. After maintaining this temperature for 12 hrs the reactor contents were cooled to 15° C. and filtered. The filter cake was then re-slurried with acetone (33 Kg) at room temperature, filtered and dried to afford the title compound (35.3 Kg, 83%) as a white solid. Decomposition pt 273° C. d (DMSOd6): 7.93 (1H, d), 8.42 (1H, d). m/z (Found:220 [M+H]+, 100%. C6H6NO6S requires 220.17).
