Reaction Steps

15.4 g (0.1 mol) of 4-nitro-2-picoline-N-oxide are added in portions at 0° C. to 75 ml of acetyl chloride. On warming to room temperature, a clear solution results which is added dropwise to ice with stirring. After adding K2CO3, the mixture is extracted several times using dichloromethane and ethyl acetate. After evaporating, the product is purified chromatographically on silica gel. The oil obtained crystallizes on standing, m.p. 37° C.
