Add potassium nitrate (1.6 mmol, 0.2 g) and stir the mixture allowing to reach room temperature overnight. Dilute the mixture with water and add sodium hydroxide 10% until basic pH. Extract in ethyl acetate. Dry over sodium sulfate, filter, and concentrate under reduced pressure to give a residue of 1-[4-(4-chloro-5-nitro-pyridin-2-yl)-piperazin-1-yl]-2,2-dimethyl-propan-1-one. Subject residue to silica gel chromatography eluting with a mixture hexanes/ethyl acetate as (from 30% up to 60%). MS(ES): m/z=327 [M+H].
