Reaction Steps

3-Amino-6-chloro-2-methylisonicotinic acid methyl ester (100 mg) was dissolved in methanol (2 mL) and 2N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (2 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred under reflux for 2.5 hours. After cooling to room temperature, water and diethyl ether were added, the layers were separated and the aqueous layer was washed with diethyl ether. The aqueous layer was acidified by addition of 2N hydrochloric acid and the formed precipitate was 3× extracted with MTB-ether. The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuum to afford 89 mg of the title compound of the formula
