Procedure

6-Methylnicotinic acid (0.1 mole) is refluxed in 100 ml. of methanol saturated with gaseous hydrogen chloride for 1 hour and then evaporated to dryness. The residue is stirred saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and the product is extracted into chloroform. The chloroform extract is dried and concentrated to dryness to give methyl 6-methylnicotinate.
