Reaktionsschritte

To a flask were added 5.0 g 6-chloro-2-hydroxypyridine, 5.3 g potassium carbonate and 75 ml N,N-dimethylformamide. After cooling to 5 C under nitrogen, 5.9 g of benzyl chloride were added drop wise and the reaction mixture was warmed to 60 C for 3 hours. After cooling to 10 C, the reaction mixture was quenched with 75 ml of water and the product was extracted with ethyl acetate and washed with water. Following solvent removal, the product was purified by silica gel chromatography using 5% ethyl acetate in hexane to give a clear colorless oil 7.9 g.
