80 °C

Sodium metal (3 g, 0.127 mol) was added in small amounts to isobutanol (100 mL)—some warming (80° C.) was needed to facilitate dissolution. 2-Chloronicotinic acid (10 g, 0.064 mol) was added and the solution refluxed for 1 h. A thick mixture resulted and a further 100 mL isobutanol was added and the mixture refluxed for 3 h. The mixture was cooled and quenched with 2N hydrochloric acid. The product was extracted into ethyl acetate and the organics washed with dilute hydrochloric acid (pH 3), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to give a brown solid. Purification by flash column chromatography (ethyl acetate as eluant) gave 10.5 g of product as a yellow solid.
