Reaktionsschritte

2,4-Dimethylpyridine (40 g, 0.37 mol) was stirred with 30% hydrogen peroxide (170 ml) in glacial acetic acid (400 ml) in an oil bath (80-90° C.) for 24 hr. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent, 1) ether, 2) methanol:chloroform (8:92)) to afford 45 g (98%) of 2,4-dimethyl-pyridine 1-oxide as an oil. 1H NMR (200 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 2.02 (3H, s), 2.18 (3H, s), 6.69 (1H, d, J=6.5 Hz), 6.82 (1H, s), 7.84 (1H, d, J=6.5 Hz).
