Acetyl bromide → 4-Bromo-2,5-dimethylpyridine 1-oxide

Temperature

55 °C

A portion of the pyridine-N-oxide (106.4 g, 0.633 mol) was added slowly to 300 g of acetyl bromide at a rate that maintained the reaction temperature at 20°-30° C. (modification of procedure described in Ochiai, J. Org. Chem, 18, 549(1953)). After the addition was complete, the reaction was heated to 55° C. and left to stir overnight. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and then slowly poured over ice. The mixture was slowly basified with 10M sodium hydroxide and extracted with chloroform. The chloroform extract was dried over sodium sulfate and then concentrated to dryness to give 119.2 g (93%) of 4-bromo-2,5-dimethylpyridine-N-oxide.
