Reaktionsschritte

15.1 ml of n-butyllithium (1.57 mol/l hexane solution) was dropwise added at −20° C. to a solution having 2.40 g (23.7 mmol) of diisopropylamine dissolved in 30 ml of tetrahydrofuran, followed by stirring for 1 hour. The solution was cooled to −78° C., and a solution having 4.22 g (23.6 mmol) of 4,5-dichloro-2-methoxypyridine obtained in Step (e) dissolved in 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added, followed by stirring for 2 hours to prepare 4,5-dichloro-2-methoxy-3-pyridyllithium. Then, to this solution, a solution having 5.00 g (23.8 mmol) of 2,3,4-trimethoxy-6-methylbenzaldehyde dissolved in 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added, followed by stirring for 30 minutes. 50 ml of water was added to the mixture to terminate the reaction, and tetrahydrofuran was distilled off under reduced pressure. After extraction with ethyl ether, the organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and subjected to filtration, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, followed by purification by silica gel column chromatography to obtain 4.66 g (yield: 51%) of (2,3,4-trimethoxy-6-methylphenyl)(4,5-dichloro-2-methoxy-3-pyridyl)methanol.
