Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl 2-phenylisonicotinate, N-oxide (397 mg, 1.73 mmol) in THF (6 mL) was treated with 0.5 N aqueous lithium hydroxide (3.65 mL, 1.81 mmol), and the mixture was stirred overnight. The THF was stripped, and the aqueous solution was freeze dried to yield lithium 2-phenylisonicotinate, N-oxide a colorless glass, which was used as-is in the next step.
