Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-amino-3,5-dichloro pyridine (5.0 gm, 0.0306 moles) in chloroform (100 mL) was added 20% peracetic acid solution (200 ml, 0.597 moles) (20% peracetic acid was prepared as per Vogel's Practical Organic Chemistry, Vol. V, page no. 458). Reaction mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 48 hrs, cooled to 5-10° C. and quenched with sodium sulphite till iodide test disappeared. Chloroform as well as acetic acid was removed under reduced pressure. The residue obtained was purified on silica gel column using 5% methanol in chloroform as an eluent to give product as light yellow solid.
