m-Chloroperbenzoic acid → HCID 178508075, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-3-nitropyridine (5.0 g; 36 mmol) in acetone (250 mL) was added a solution of m-chloroperbenzoic acid (7.5 g; 100 mmol) in acetone (50 mL). The shiny orange solution was stirred at room temperature for 3 days. The resulting precipitate was dissolved again under heating and the solution poured onto a silica gel column. Column chromatography using acetone as eluant gave the title compound as an orange solid.
