Synthesis of bipyridine-N-oxides and bipyridine-N,N'-dioxides

Abstract

Dimethyldioxirane (DMD) was used to synthesize heterocyclic aromatic TV-oxides enabling the product isolation and reaction solutions to be free of potentially dangerous peroxide intermediates. Additionally, this work combines important crystallographic, spectroscopic, and melting point data to shed light on inconsistent literature previously reported for the identity of 2,4'-bipyridine-W-oxide.
