Procedure

A mixture of 2 g of 5-nitronicotinic acid and 30 ml. of thionyl chloride was refluxed for 3 hours. Excess thionyl chloride was distilled off to give oily 5-nitronicotinoyl chloride. The acid chloride thus obtained was added to 10 ml of pyridine at -15° C. and 1.4 g of 2-thiophene carboxamide was added thereto. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure at a temperature below 40° C. and the residue was purified over silica gel chromatography and recrystallized from ethyl acetate-n-hexane to give 200 mg of the desired product. mp 187° C.
