Procedure

A solution of 2-chloro-6-methylisonicotinic acid (15.5 g, 90.3 mmol, 1 eq.) in ethanol (200 mL) and a few drops of concentrated sulfuric acid is stirred at 75° C. for 24 h. The solvent is evaporated and the residue is dissolved in ethyl acetate (200 mL) and washed with a solution of sat. aq. NaHCO3 (70 mL) and water (2×70 mL). The org. extract is dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated to give 2-chloro-6-methylisonicotinic acid ethyl ester (16.3 g) as a pink powder; LC-MS: tR=0.92 min, [M+1]+=200.17.
