Reaction Steps

3-Methylpyridine-2-carbonitrile 1-oxide (8.42 g, 62.8 mmol) was stirred in refluxing POCl3 (60 mL, 646 mmol) for 6 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and slowly poured into ice-water. The resulting beige precipitate was collected by filtration to give the title compound.
