Reaction Steps

1131 g (9.5 mol) of thionyl chloride were slowly added dropwise at 90° C. to 500 g (3.17 mol) of 2-chloronicotinic acid. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour at 90° C. and freed from thionyl chloride under reduced pressure (“high vacuum”) at approximately 40° C. This gave 561 g (100%) of the title compound as colorless crystals.
