Heated at 100° C. overnight with vigorous stirring to obtain complete solution. Allowed to cool and concentrated in vacuo to a white solid. Slurried in water (250 mL) and adjusted to pH 7 with concentrated ammonia to get heavy white suspension. Collected solid by filtration, rinsing through with fresh water, and dried to provide 6-trifluoromethyl-pyridine-2,4-diol (44.0 g) as a white solid.
