Reaction Steps

20 g of 4-methyl-6-cyclohexyl-2-pyrone, 8 g of hydroxylamine sulfate and 50 g of imidazole were heated to 90° C. Further 10 g of hydroxylamine sulfate were added portionwise in the course of 3 hours. After a reaction time of 5 hours, the mixture was worked up. 11.8 g of 1-hydroxy-4-methyl-6-cyclohexyl-2-pyridone melting at 143° C were obtained.
