Reaction Steps

With ice bath cooling HNO3 (100%, 25 ml) was added dropwise to 2-bromo-6-ethyl-pyridine 1-oxide (example 5a) (20.0 g, 99 mmol), followed by H2SO4 (98%, 17 ml). The mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 90 min and then cooled to rt. Crushed ice (500 g) was added and the pH was adjusted to pH 12 with 28% aqueous NaOH solution. After extraction with AcOEt (4×250 ml) the combined organic phases were dried (Na2CO3) and evaporated to give 15.9 g (65%) of a yellow solid mass which was directly used in the next step
