Procedure

To a solution of 2-aminopyridine-3-carboxylic acid (4.3 g, 31 mmol) in methanol (62 mL) was added dropwise sulfuric acid (31 mL) under ice-cooling, and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. The reaction mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 15 hr. and neutralized with sodium bicarbonate under ice-cooling. The reaction mixture was extracted twice with ethyl acetate, and the extracts were combined, and washed with brine. The extract was dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (4.3 g, 90%) as a white solid.
