Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 2-bromo-6-(hydroxymethyl)pyridin-3-ol (2.04 g, 10 mmol) and K2CO3 (2.07 g, 15 mmol) in acetone (50 mL) was added iodomethane (1.84 g, 13 mmol) at rt. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 4 h. After that time the reaction was cooled to rt, filtered to remove solids and concentrated under reduced pressure to give (6-bromo-5-methoxypyridin-2-yl)methanol (3.42 g, >99%) as a white solid: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.25 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.16 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 4.70 (s, 2H), 3.93 (s, 3H), 2.78 (br s, 1H).
