Reaction Steps

5-Bromo-2-(2-methyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)pyridine (175 mg, 0.73 mM) and 3-chloroperbenzoic acid (wet, 70%: 0.50 g, 2.05 mM) were dissolved in 1,2-dichloroethane (5 ml) and heated at 80° C. for 1.5 hours. The mixture was submitted directly to silica gel chromatography, eluting with 25% acetonitrile in dichloromethane. 5-Bromo-2-(2-methyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)pyridine 1-oxide was thus obtained as a white solid (165 mg). This material was homogeneous by tlc analysis and was used in the subsequent step without further characterization or purification.
