Participants

Reaction Steps

To mention specific examples of the reaction conditions, one to two equivalent amount of hydrogen peroxide is added to the pyridine-2-carbaldehyde derivative (8) in a formic acid solvent, and the mixture can be treated at room temperature for about 1 hour to 2 days, thus to produce the pyridine-2-carboxylic acid derivative (9).
