참여 물질

반응 단계

A solution of 2-(4-methylphenyl)-6-methylpyridine (4.5 g) in 100 ml of chloroform was cooled to 0° C., and m-chloroperbenzoic acid (7.7 g) in 50 ml of chloroform was added over a period of 15 minutes. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours, then at 50° C. for 2 hours, followed by stirring overnight at room temperature. Solvent was evaporated to a small volume under reduced pressure, and the residue passed through an alumina column, eluting with 2% methanol in methylene chloride to remove benzoic acid. The eluate was flash-Chromatographed on silica gel, eluting with 5% methanol in methylene chloride, to yield 2.8 g of 2-(4-methylphenyl)-6-methylpyridine-N-oxide, m.p. 95° C.
