Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5,6-dichloro nicotinic acid (12.2 g, 63.5 mmol) in isopropanol (70 mL), H2SO4 (4 mL) is added dropwise. The mixture is stirred at 80° C. for 16 h before it is cooled to rt and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is dissolved in dioxane (100 mL) and concentrated again. The crude product is purified by CC (heptane:EA 1:3) to give 5,6-dichloro nicotinic acid isopropyl ester (9.29 g) as a pale beige oil; LC-MS: tR=1.33 min, [M+1]+=233.94.
