2 gms (0.0087 mole) of 2-acetamido-6-bromopyridine-1-oxide was suspended in 35 ml (0.035 mole) of 1M aqueous sodium hydrosulfide and 30 ml of ethanol and agitated at 60° C for 5 hours and at room temperature one night. Concentrated hydrochloric acid was added dropwise to the cold yellow solution and the precipitated solid filtered, giving a 79% yield of 2-acetamido-6-mercaptopyridine-1-oxide. This impure product was purified by recrystallization from 2-propanol and hot filtration to remove a small amount of contaminating sulfur to give pale yellow crystals, m.p.=172.8°-173.5° C.
