Participants

Reaction Steps

m-Chloroperbenzoic acid (71.42 g) in dichloromethane (11) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of 5-bromo-2,3-lutidine (70.0 g) over I hour. After 23 hours the solution was cooled to 15° and ammonia gas bubbled through to give a white precipitate, which was filtered off. The filtrate was washed with 5% aqueous sodium sulphite, dried, and stripped to give 5-bromo-2,3-lutidine-N-oxide, 61.78 g, m.p. 80°-2°, from ethyl acetate.
