Just to retire this question, it is improperly proposed...

Explanation:

You want to make....#"isonicotinic acid"#:

wiki.org

And this is a heterocyclic ring, a pyridine derivative, from benzene, #C_6H_6#, a carbocyclic ring. And you are a shot bird in this endeavour. A legitimate question would be the synthesis of #"isonicotinic acid"# from pyridine, #C_6H_5N#. This would be hard but doable...and you will have to consult a text in heterocyclic chemistry for a viable synthesis....
