Ethyl 2-hydroxyisobutyrate → 2-Ethoxy-5-(methanesulfonyl)pyridine

Temperatur

80 °C

A mixture of ethyl 2-hydroxyisobutyrate (0.41 mL, 3.0 mmol), 2,5-bis(methyl sulfonyl) pyridine (J. Heterocycl. Chem. 1985, 22, 1583) (0.70 g, 3.0 mmol) and sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 0.14 g, 3.6 mmol) in 30 mL of anhydrous DMF was heated at 80° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and was partitioned between saturated aqueous ammonium chloride (200 mL) and ether (200 mL). The organic layer was separated and was washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to dryness, and the residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with 0 to 80% ethyl acetate in hexane to give the title compound as a 1:1 mixture with 2-ethoxy-5-methylsulfonylpyridine. LC-MS: m/e 288 (M+H)+ (0.70 min).
