Sodium Thiosulfate → 3-(4-Nitrophenyl)pyridine-1-oxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

m-Chloroperbenzoic acid (6.9 g, 40.0 mmol) was slowly added to a solution of 3-(4-nitrophenyl)pyridine (P1, 4 g, 20.0 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (200 mL) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The solution was poured into aqueous sodium thiosulfate and the resultant mixture was concentrated. Trituration with ethyl acetate afforded the title compound as a solid.
