Reaction Steps

Pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid 2-methyl ester (500 mg, 2.76 mmol) was dissolved in thionyl chloride (8.21 g, 68 mmol) and heated to reflux for 4 h. Excess thionyl chloride was removed under vacuum. The obtained crude product (620 mg, assumed purity 60%, 68% yield) was used in the next step without further purification.
