After 1 hour the mixture was washed with sodium bisulphite solution, sodium bicarbonate solution and water. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel using ethyl acetate/ethanol/formic acid (40:4:1) for the elution. The product was obtained as an oil which solidified upon trituration with diethyl ether. Recrystallization from toluene gave 0.034 g of 2-(2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-4-yl)pyridine N-oxide of melting point 148°-150° C.
