It may be important to you but perhaps not to anyone else. Nicotinic acid was synthesized from pyridine in JACS 63 2283 (1941), total syntheses of nicotine were published in JACS 55 2854 (1933), Ber 26 294 (1893) and 37 1225 (1904) :) The Berichte articles are probably available from Gallica; perhaps you should learn how to do some research yourself :D
