Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Bromo-2-(3-hydroxy-1-butynyl)pyridine (5.426 g) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (60 ml), followed by the sequential addition of triethylamine (10 ml) and methanesulfonyl chloride (2.2 ml) under ice-cooling, and the resulting mixture was stirred for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was washed with water, dried (over MgSO4) and evaporated. The resulting residue was dissolved in methanol (16 ml), and under ice-cooling, 28% sodiummethoxide/methanol solution (4.6 ml) was added thereto and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was evaporated and partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The resulting organic layer was washed with water, dried (over MgSO4) and evaporated. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane system) to give the title compound as a brown oil (1.968 g, yield; 34%).
