Reaction Steps

Thionyl chloride (71 μl, 962 μmol) is added to a mixture of 5-chloro-3-methyl-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (150 mg, 874 μmol), toluene (1 ml) and DMF (20 μl). The mixture is heated to 60° C. for 1 hour. The mixture is concentrated in vacuo and the crude product used directly without further purification.
