Procedure

To a solution of 6-chloro-5-hydroxy-nicotinonitrile (1.12 g, 7.24 mmol) in DCM (15 mL) was added N,N-diisopropyl ethylamine (1.57 mL, 9.05 mmol) followed by the addition of chloro-methyl methylether (0.66 mL, 8.69 mmol) slowly at 0° C. After overnight at room temperature, the reaction mixture was washed with saturated NaHCO3 (10 mL) and brine (10 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to give yellow oil. Purification was accomplished by flash chromatography on silica gel using 5-25% EtOAc/hexanes gradient elution to yield the title compound (0.68 g, 50%) as a transparent oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 8.53 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 8.14 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 5.42 (s, 2H), 3.40 (s, 3H); MS (ES) m/z: 199 (M+1)+.
