purification of 2,6-dichloropyridine-4-carboxilic acid
I am looking to methode purification of 2,6-dichloropyridine-4-carboxilic acid. The product should be white or tan. The route to get
2,6-dichloro-pyridine-4 carboxilic acid was treating citrazinic acid + POCl3 in autoclave. I got a brown powder. Mp. was near to lit. mp. I tried to
purify with meOH esterification, extracted with DCM and desdtillated in vacuo. The result: pruduct idecomposed in 5 hgmm instead boiling.
Any idea?

Maybe (if you work fast) you could wash the methyl esters with alkaline water (~pH 10). Then the mono- and di-phenolic compounds would stay in the
water phase. As I'm sure you know, this would in time cleave the ester as well so don't leave it in there for too long.

Have you tried dissolving in a suitable solvent and treating with decolourizing carbon?

What kind of solvent suitable for it? In my opinion isonicotinic acid and their relevant does not dissolve none solvent. If you make the sodium
salt of this one, the water solution cannot filtrate cause the solution is very viscose.

When you did the methanol esterification, how much acid catalyst did you use? You need to use more than 1eq since the pyridine ties up the first eq.
Thermal decarboxylation on heating wouldn't surprise me.

The molar ratio:
substrate: 1m meOH 10 m H2SO4 4,45 m

According to this

you can recrystallize it from water

Column chromatography would most likely clean it up just fine. The ester might be easier to purify than the acid though due to the tendency for
carboxylic acids to trail on silica

Thank you all for your advise.
Unionised:
the thing not enough soluble in water for transkristallisation. Less 1g / lit /80 deg.
Mercedes:
I've more than 3 kg crude one. But idea is good.
