The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, the acetic acid evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue dissolved in chloroform. After neutralisation with potassium carbonate (20 g) the chloroform was removed to give 2-benzylpyridine-N-oxide (10.86 g, 99%) as a viscous oil which crystallised on standing.
