Procedure
To a solution of 2-chloro-5-iodopyridine in dimethylacetamide (2 ml), 300 mg of potassium tert-butoxy and 535 mg of (2-phenoxyphenyl)methanol were added, and the reaction solution was stirred at 110° C. for 4 hours. The reaction solution was cooled, then diluted with a saturated saline solution, extracted with diethyl ether, and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue obtained was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: ethyl acetate/hexane (0:100-10:90)) to afford the title compound as a white solid.
