Procedure
Concentrated sulfuric acid (60 mL, 1.1 mol) was added to a suspension of methyl 2-((trimethylsilyl)ethynyl)isonicotinate (127 g, 0.54 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (600 mL) and mercury acetate (51.5 g, 0.16 mol). The suspension was stirred for 3 hours at 50° C. and kept overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with diethyl ether (1.5 L) and the sulfuric acid was neutralized with saturated sodium bicarbonate (150 g, 1.7 mol). A residue of mercury salts was separated by filtration. The ether solution was washed with water and dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed to give methyl 2-acetylisonicotinate as an oil that was directly used in the next step.
