Reaktionsschritte

15.4 g (0.1 mol) of 2-methyl-4-nitropyridine 1-oxide was added to 78.5 g (1 mol) of acetyl chloride at -10° C. The obtained mixture was stirred under cooling with ice for 0.5 hour. After the completion of the reaction, 300 ml of ice-water was added to the reaction mixture. The obtained mixture was neutralized with sodium carbonate and extracted with chloroform. The extract was dried over magnesium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under a reduced pressure and purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/n-hexane/methanol) to obtain 4.7 g of the title compound.
