Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-4-methylpyridine (1 g, 7.84 mmol) was dissolved in DCM (10 ml), cooled to 0° C., mCPBA (70%, 2.32 g, 9.41 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for several hours and allowed to reach room temperature overnight. The mixture was diluted with DCM and washed with saturated Na2S2O3 solution and saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. After drying (sodium sulfate) and concentration under reduced pressure, 1.0 g of a yellow oil was obtained (6.27 mmol, 80%) MS(ESI) m/z=144.0 [M+1]+.
