Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 1-bromo-2-methoxy-benzene (49.2 g, 0.263 mol) in dry THF (500 mL) was added dropwise n-BuLi (2.5 M in hexane, 105 mL, 0.263 mol) at −78° C. under N2 atmosphere. The mixture was stirred at this temperature for 1 hr and then a solution of 6-chloro-N-methoxy-N-methyl-nicotinamide (50 g, 0.25 mol) in THF (100 mL) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature, stirred overnight and then was quenched with a saturated solution of NH4Cl (300 mL). The separated aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×300 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, evaporated in vacuo to give the crude product that was purified by column chromatography to yield (6-chloropyridin-3-yl)-(2-methoxyphenyl)-methanone as a white solid (31 g, 47.6%).
