Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 2,4-pyridinedicarboxylic acid monohydrate (92.6 g, 0.5 mol) in acetic acid (700 ml) was treated with hydrogen peroxide (300 ml of a 35 wt % solution in water) and then heated at reflux for 16 h. The mixture was allowed to cool to 80° C., water (200 ml) was added and the mixture refrigerated at 4° C. for 16 h. The resulting solid was collected by filtration, washed with cold water (3×100 ml) and dried to give 2,4-pyridinedicarboxylic acid N-oxide (91.5 g, 91%) as a white crystalline solid. 1H NMR (360 MHz, d6-DMSO) δH 8.17 (1H, dd, J 3 and 7), 8.51 (1H, d, J 3), 8.76 (1H, d, J 7).
