Reaction Steps

A solution of 27 g. (0.27 mol) of chromium trioxide in 250 ml. of water was added to a solution of 80 g. (0.266 mol) of 3-nitro-4-chlorophenyl-2-pyridyl methanol hydrochloride in 800 ml. of 75% acetic acid at 45° C. and the mixture was heated to 75° C. for 1 hr. The resulting dark green solution was poured into 3 liters of ice-water. The resulting product was filtered off, washed with water, dissolved in methylene chloride, dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to yield 2-(3-nitro-4-chlorobenzoyl)pyridine as white microneedles, mp. 98° -99° C. (cyclohexane).
