Abstract

Because of the many reactions which it undergoes, the importance of 4-nitropyridine-1-oxide is well established, and it is of interest to compare its behavior with that of the 2-isomer; however, attempts to prepare 2-nitropyridine-1-oxide by the oxidation of 2-nitropyridine have been unsuccessfu1. 2 We wish to report the synthesis of compounds of this class by the oxidation of 2-aminopyridine-1-oxides. Starting with the commercially available 2- ...
