Procedure

To 2,6-difluoro-nicotinic acid (59, 5.60 g, 0.0352 mol) in methanol (60.0 mL) was added concentrated sulfuric acid (1.0 mL, 0.019 mol). The reaction was heated to reflux overnight, then poured into water, basified with 1M potassium carbonate to pH around 9, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to give a yellow oil (60, 3.5 g, 57.0%).
