Reaktionsschritte

A solution of 2,6-dimethylpyridine 1-oxide (980 mg, 0.79 mmol) in acetic anhydride (5 mL) was refluxed for 1 h. The reaction mixture was then concentrated in vacuo to obtain the crude product. The crude material was purified via silica gel column chromatography using 20% ethyl acetate in hexanes to afford (6-methylpyridin-2-yl)methyl acetate (1.0 g) as a solid.
