Acetic Acid → HCID 501131, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 23.2 g (0.1 mole) of 2-(1-phenylethylthio)pyridine N-oxide, 0.2 g of sodium tungstate, and 60 ml of glacial acetic acid were added 10 ml (0.1 mole) of 30% hydrogen peroxide over approximately 0.5 hours. The mixture exothermed somewhat to about 65° C. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was poured slowly into 800 ml of vigorously stirred cold water. A solid separated out and was filtered off and washed with 15 ml of cold ethanol. The solid was air dried, melting point 130–130.5° C. Yield 14.5 g or 59%. An infrared spectrum confirmed the structure.
