Procedure

Sixteen grams (88.4 mmol) of 2-acetylnicotinic acid N-oxide (J. Chem. Soc., 1961, 5216) is added to a solution of sodium hydroxide (3.5 g, 88.4 mmol) in 300 ml of water. The pH is adjusted to 9 by the addition of 6N NaOH, and 10% palladium on carbon (1.6 g) is added. The mixture is then hydrogenated until a 20% excess of hydrogen is taken up. The reaction mixture is filtered through Celite, and the pH of the filtrate is adjusted to 2.5 with 6N HCL. The solvent is removed by rotoevaporation and the residue is taken up in methanol. The mixture is filtered and the filtrate is evaporated to give a pale beige solid, 2-acetylnicotinic acid.
