Reaction Steps

4-Trifluoromethylnicotinic acid (50.09 g, 0.262 mol) was suspended in benzene (250 ml), and thionyl chloride (38.2 ml, 0.524 mol) and N,N-dimethylformamide (0.1 ml) were added. The mixture was refluxed for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated, and the residue was distilled under reduced pressure to obtain 49.45 g (yield 90.1%) of the title compound.
