Reaction Steps

7.0 g (35 mmol) 5-chloromethyl-pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid anhydride (Va) were dissolved in 165 g (5.16 mol) methanol at room temperature, causing formation of mono-esters. 14 g (350 mmol) NaOH (50% in water) were slowly added whereupon the temperature rose to 50° C. and carboxylate started to precipitate. Stirring was continued for additional 5 h at 65° C.
