Procedure

2-chloro-4-methylpyridine (10 g, 80 mmol) was dissolved in acetic acid (100 ml). Hydrogen peroxide (31%, 86.8 g, 80.7 ml, 790 mmol)) was added in 4 portions and the solution stirred under nitrogen at 65° C. for 18 hours. The mixture was poured into ice water (300 ml), and solid Na2CO3 added until the solution was alkaline. The mixture was extracted with DCM (3×300 ml), the organic fractions combined, washed with sodium thiosulfate (1M, 100 ml), brine, dried over Na2SO4, and the volatiles removed in vacuum to give the titled compound.
