Reaktionsschritte

To a 500 mL flask equipped with addition funnel at 0° C. was added NaH (8.26 g, 95%, 327 mmol), followed by slow addition of DMF (100 mL). The mixture was stirred for 10 minutes. The addition funnel was then charged with 6-methyl-pyridin-3-ol (30.2 g, 277 mmol) and DMF (100 mL), and the solution in addition funnel was added to the flask dropwise over 45 minutes. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for another 30 minutes once the addition was finished. To the addition funnel was then added 4-fluoro-3-methyl-nitrobenzene (39.1 g, 252 mmol) and DMF (100 mL) and the resulting solution was added to the flask dropwise over 45 minutes. The cold bath was removed at the end of the addition and the reaction mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 15 hours. The red dark solution was cooled to 0° C. and water (100 mL) was added cautiously to the reaction mixture. The resulting solution was stirred for 30 minutes and solid product was purified by filtration and washed with cold water (500 mL). The wet solid was dried in vacuo to give product (49.8 g, 81%).
