Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chloro-4-methylpyridine (10.0 g, 78.3 mmole) and 34% peracetic acid (76.05 g, 91.0 mmole) in glacial AcOH (10 mL) was heated at 70° C. for 3 hr. The reaction mixture was cooled, conc. HCl (35 mL) was added, and the mixture was concentrated on the rotavap. Recrystallization from n-butanol followed by trituration with ether gave the title compound (7.16 g, 51%) as a white solid: MS (ES) m/e 143.9 (M+H)+.
