Hydrogen peroxide (aqueous, 30%, 27 mL) was added slowly over 5 minutes, and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 hours. An additional 40 mL of 30% hydrogen peroxide was added, and the reaction was stirred for 16 hours. Manganese dioxide (100 mg) was added, and the suspension was stirred for 40 minutes. The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane, dried (sodium sulfate), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. Ethyl acetate was added, and the suspension was refluxed for 30 minutes until solids dissolved, and then the mixture was allowed to cool to ambient temperature and left for 48 hours. 3,5-Dibromopyridine-1-oxide (28.05 g, 79%) was collected by vacuum filtration. MS (LC-MS) m/z 254 (M+H)+. 3,5-Dibromopyridine-1-oxide (25.09 g, 0.099 mol) was then dissolved in acetonitrile (200 mL) and triethylamine (28 mL, 0.198 mol) and trimethylsilylcyanide (40 mL, 0.297 mol) were added. The reaction was stirred for 16 hours, diluted with dichloromethane, aqueous sodium carbonate, water, and then filtered through diatomaceous earth eluting with dichloromethane. The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane and the organics were washed with brine, dried (sodium sulfate), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by silica gel chromatography (30-70% ethyl acetate in hexanes) provided the title compound. MS (LC-MS) m/z 263 (M+H)+.
