m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → 2-(6-carbamoyl-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-4-yl)pyridine N-oxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

564 mg of 3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-4-(2-pyridyl)-2H-1-benzopyran-6-carboxamide were dissolved in 20 ml of dichloromethane at room temperature and 540 mg of m-chloroperbenzoic acid were added. After stirring at room temperature overnight the mixture was washed with sodium bisulphite solution, sodium bicarbonate solution and water. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated to give a solid which was recrystallized from isopropanol to yield 164 mg of 2-(6-carbamoyl-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-4-yl)pyridine N-oxide of melting point 248-250° C.
