General procedure for the synthesis of 2-chloronicotinamide from 2-chloro-3-cyanopyridine: 400 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid was added to a 1000 mL three-necked flask, followed by the addition of 2-chloro-3-cyanopyridine (138 g, 1 mol), which was stirred until completely dissolved. The reaction system was warmed up to 90 °C and the reaction was maintained at this temperature with stirring for 2 hours. Upon completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was slowly poured into a mixture containing 1000 mL of ammonia and 1 kg of ice and stirring was continued for 1 hour. The precipitated crude product was collected by filtration. The crude product was transferred to 1000 mL of ethyl acetate and stirred for 1 hour to wash and subsequently separated by filtration to give a white solid product. Finally, the white solid was dried by blowing at 50 °C to give 153 g of the intermediate 2-chloronicotinamide as a white solid in 98% yield.
