Reaktionsschritte

A 25 mL round bottom flask was charged with conc. H2SO4 (1 mL) and cooled to 0° C. 2-Methylpyridine 1-oxide (0.4 g, 0.003 mol, Aldrich) was added in one portion, followed by the addition of fuming HNO3 (1 mL, spectrochem, india) in a drop-wise fashion. The reaction was stirred at rt for 30 min and a further 12 h at 70° C. Reaction progress was monitored by TLC (50% EtOAc in petroleum ether). After completion of the reaction, EtOAc (10 mL) was added to the reaction mixture after cooling to 0° C. and the reaction was neutralized to pH-8-9 with 40% NaOH solution, and extracted with EtOAc (2×10 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give the title compound as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 8.82 (d, J=5.4 Hz, 1H), 8.03 (d, J=1.8 Hz, 1H), 7.92 (dd, J=1.8, 5.1 Hz, 1H), 2.64 (s, 3H).
