Nitric Acid → 2-Chloro-4-nitropyridine 1-oxide

참여 물질

반응 단계

2-Chloro-pyridine-1-oxide (10 g) is in an ice bath and treated with concentrated H2SO4 (15 ml), followed by the dropwise addition of a mixture of concentrated H2SO4 (15 ml) and fuming HNO3 (27 ml, s.g. 1.5) over a 70 minute period. The acidic solution is heated in a steam bath for 2.5 hours, then allowed to reach room temperature and poured onto ice water (600 ml), stirring being continued until all the ice has melted . The resultant solid is filtered off and dissolved in hot chloroform, the solution being dried and the solvent evaporated in vacuo to give a yellow solid. The aqueous filtrate obtained after the removal of the original solid is neutralised with saturated aqueous Na2CO3 and extracted continuously with chloroform, the extract being dried and evaporated in vacuo to yield a yellow solid. The two yellow solids are combined and recrystallised from ethanol to give 2-chloro-4-nitro-pyridine-1-oxide as yellow crystals (7.46 g, 56%).
