m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → HCID 57815209, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

4.43 g (21.2 mmol, 1 eq) of 3-bromo-1,5-naphthyridine (W. Czuba, Recueil des Travaux Chimiques des Pays-Bas 1963, 82, 988-996) were introduced in 165 mL of methylene chloride. 5.23 g (21.2 mmol, 1 eq) of meta-chloroperbenzoic acid were then added portionwise at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at rt for 18 h. The mixture was washed with 1M aqueous NaOH solution and water. Organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by column chromatography using methylene chloride and then methylene chloride/ethanol: 98/2 as eluent. The solvent was evaporated to dryness to afford 3.08 g of 3-bromo-1,5-naphthyridine-5-oxide (pale yellow powder) with 64% yield and 1.00 g of 3-bromo-1,5-naphthyridine-1-oxide (yellow powder) with 21% yield.
