Participants

Reaction Steps

6-chloropicolinic acid (3 g) and thionyl chloride (50 ml) was refluxed for one hour. The excess thionyl chloride was evaporated in vacuo and dichloromethane added to the residual picolinoyl chloride. This solution was poured into an excess of n-propylamine in dichloromethane. The solution was then washed with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate and the dichloromethane evaporated to give 6-chloro-2-N-n-propyl pyridine carboxamide (3 g) as a yellow oil.
