Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (2.07 g, 51.8 mmoles) was added to 1,2-dihydroxyethane (100 ml). After 15 minutes 6,6'-dimethyl-4-nitro-2,2'-bipyridine-N-oxide (17) (6.35 g, 25.9 mmoles) was added and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 4 hours. Excess of 1,2-dihydroxyethane was removed by evaporation in high vacuum and the product was purified by flash chromatography.
