Procedure

6-Methyl-5-nitroisoquinoline (100.0 g, 531 mmol) in Dichlormethane (1 L) was added to a 2 L 3-necked round bottomed flask and cooled to 5° C. Purified m-chloroperoxobenzoic acid (129 g, 749 mmol) was added to this stirred solution [m-CPBA was extracted with saturated Phosphate buffer pH 7.5 and DCM]. Initially with the addition of mCPBA the reaction exothermed, but then endothermed to 2° C. After 20 min, the contents in the flask solidified to a yellow/white solid and more DCM (300 mL) was added. The reaction was allowed to stir overnight at room temperature. DCM (2 L) was added and the mixture washed with 1 N NaOH (1 L), saturated sodium bicarbonate (1 L) and brine (1 L). The solution was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to give 6-methyl-5-nitroisoquinoline-N-oxide (81.7 g, 75%). MS (M+H)+ 205.
