m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → 2-Chloro-6-methylpyridine 1-oxide

To a cold (0° C.) solution of 2-chloro-6-methylpyridine (24.6 g, 193 mmol) in dichloromethane (100 mL), a solution of m-chloro-per-benzoic acid (46.2 g, 268 mmol; purified) in dichloromethane (480 mL) was added over a period of 30 min. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temp. overnight, and concentrated to about 100 mL. The slurry was filtered, and the solid washed with ice-cold dichloromethane. The combined filtrate was washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum to provide 2-chloro-6-methylpyridine N-oxide as clear colorless oil.
