Peracetic Acid → N-methyl-N-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-2-pyridinesulfonamide 1-oxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-methyl-N-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-2-pyridinesulfonamide (1.7 g, 5.3 mmol) is treated with 40% peracetic acid (approx. 12 ml) at 35°-45° under N2 for 14 hours. The excess peracetic acid is removed under vacuum, and the residue is diluted with methylene chloride, poured into water, neutralized with aq. sodium bicarbonate, washed with brine, dried and evaporated to dryness to give, after purification, the title compound (compound 1, Table A).
