Procedure

To cooled nitric acid (concentrated, 168 ml) was added sulfuric acid (concentrated, 300 ml) under cooling followed by 2-bromo-6-methyl-pyridine 1-oxide (35 g, 0.186 mol). The mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 4 hours, cooled to room temperature and poured slowly on crushed ice. A stream of nitrogen was bubbled through the mixture overnight. The mixture was basified to pH 8 under cooling with NaOH (10N, ca. 1 L), diluted with water (3 L) and extracted with DCM (5×). The combined organic phases were dried (sodium sulfate) and evaporated to dryness to yield 27.6 g of a yellow crystalline solid (0.118 mol, 57%).
