Reaction Steps

3-Cyano-2-methoxy-6-methylpyridine is oxidised with potassium permanganate in aqueous solution to give 5-cyano-6-methoxypyridine-2-carboxylic acid (m.p. 235°-237° C.), subsequent hydrogenation of which on palladium/charcoal in isopropanol/water/hydrochloric acid gives the desired compound.
