反応手順

At −78° C., 19.4 ml of lithium diisopropylamide (2 molar in THF/heptane/ethylbenzene, 1.3 eq.) were added to a solution of 4.0 g (29.8 mmol) of 6-methoxypyridine-3-carbonitrile in 120 ml of THF, and the mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 1 h. At −78° C., a solution of 9.1 g (35.8 mmol) of iodine in 20 ml of THF was then added, and the reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 1 h and then carefully added to saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution. After addition of ethyl acetate, the reaction mixture was extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were dried (magnesium sulphate), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel 60, mobile phase: cyclohexane/ethyl acetate mixtures). Yield: 4.0 g (purity 92%, 48% of theory)
