Procedure

To 5-(Methoxycarbonyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (Maybridge, 1.0 g, 5.52 mmol) was added thionyl chloride (Aldrich, 25 mL) and this reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the intermediate 5-(methoxycarbonyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid chloride as a tan solid which was used without further purification.
