Procedure

To a reaction vial were added methyl 5-cyclopropylpicolinate (370 mg, 2.088 mmol) and potassium hydroxide (258 mg, 4.59 mmol) in MeOH (7 ml). The reaction mixture was heated to 50° C. for 1 h. It was concentrated and was treated with small amount of water, and acidified by 6N HCl until pH 2. Then the mixture was concentrated and MeOH was added. The white salt was filtered out and the filtrate was passed through silica plug to yield desired product as yellow solid which still contains some salt. It was used directly for next step. MS m/z=164.2 (M+H).
