Procedure

A solution of 2-bromo-3-methylpyridine (10.0 mL, 0.0898 mol) in dichloromethane (150 mL) at 0° C. was treated with mCPBA (˜77%, 22.1 g, 0.0987 mol) in three equivalent portions. The mixture was warmed to room temperature, stirred for 18 hours, cooled to 0° C., and treated with 1N NaOH (50 mL). The organic phase was washed with 1N NaOH and saturated NaHCO3, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated. The concentrate was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel with ethyl acetate and 9:1 ethyl acetate/methanol to provide 7.83 g (47%) of the desired product. MS (DCI/NH3) m/z 187.9 (M+H)+; 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 8.28-8.26 (m, 1H), 7.15-7.09 (m, 2H), 2.46 (s, 3H).
