Adapting the procedure of Makosza, et al, Liebigs Ann. Chem., 1984, 8-14, a stirred mixture of 4-nitro-pyridine-N-oxide (1.40 g, 10.0 mmol) and chloromethylphenylsulfone (1.92 g, 10.0 mmol) in DMSO (25 mL) in a cold water bath is treated with a solution of KOH (4.0 g, 71 mmol) in DMSO, stirred for 45 min, poured into 1.0 M hydrochloric acid and water and extracted with CH2Cl2. The aqueous phase is filtered and the filtercake is dried in vacuo to afford the title compound, 1.20 g (41% yield). The organic extracts are combined, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The resultant wet solid is heated in boiling ethanol:water (4:1) and filtered. The filtrate is cooled, concentrated and filtered. This filtercake is dried in vacuo to afford an additional portion of the title compound, 0.967 g (74% total yield), mp 219-220° C., identified by mass spectral and HNMR analyses.
