Participants

Reaction Steps

30 wt % Hydrogen peroxide (80.3 ml) was added dropwise to a solution of 2-(2-acetylaminoethyl)pyridine (64.5 g) in acetic acid (65 ml) at 70°-75° C. and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 8 hours. After the mixture was ice-cooled and the mixture was added to a mixture of sodium sulfite (56.9 g) in ice water (200 ml). The solvent was removed by concentration in vacuo and the residue was extracted with a tetrahydrofuran. The extract solution was dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated to give 2-(2-acetylaminoethyl)pyridine N-oxide (70.82 g).
