Reaktionsschritte

Hydrogen peroxide (30%, 1.76 mL, 17.4 mmol) was added to a solution of 2-bromo-6-methyl-pyridine (1.0 g, 5.80 mmol) in acetic acid (20 mL), and heated for 24 h at 90° C. The reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature, and partitioned between dichloromethane and water. The aqueous phase was separated and extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic phases were washed thoroughly with water and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Concentration in vacuo afforded 2-bromo-6-methyl-pyridine 1-oxide (820 mg, 75%) as a brown liquid which was used in the next step without further purification.
