Reaction Steps

Pyridine-4-carbaldoxime (1 g, 8.19 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (10 ml), a solution of N-chlorosuccinimide (1.31 g, 9.83 mmol) in DMF (5 ml) was slowly added dropwise and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature. When the reaction was complete (thin layer chromatography control, here 6 h), diethyl ether (50 ml) and water (20 ml) were added, phase separation, extraction of the aqueous phase with diethyl ether (5×30 ml). The combined organic phases were washed with water (50 ml) and saturated sodium chloride solution (50 ml), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The crude yield was reacted without further purification and analysis. The yield was 0.74 g (>99%).
