Procedure

Following a literature procedure (Koncewicz, J. and Skrowaezewska, Z., Politec. Wroclaw Rocz. Chem., 1968, 42, 1873-85 (Chem. Ab., 70, 114972u (1968))) 2,5-dimethylpyridine was dissolved in 400 ml glacial acetic acid and 30% hydrogen peroxide (55 mL) was added slowly. The mixture was heated to 70° C. for 48 hours, with addition of more hydrogen peroxide (55 mL) at 5 hours and 20 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled, diluted with water, and the solvents removed to give 141 g of crude 2,5-dimethylpyridine-N oxide as a pale yellow liquid.
