Reaction Steps

2-(6-Bromopyridin-3-yl)propan-2-ol (1.08 g, 5 mmol) was dissolved in 10 mL of THF and 50 mL of anhydrous ether. After the solution was cooled to −78° C., 4.20 ml n-butyllithium (2.5 M, 11 mmol) was slowly dropped through a syringe in 10 min. After being stirred at −78° C. for 30 minutes, 1,4-cyclohexanedione mono-ethylene ketal (0.80 g, 5 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was warmed up to room temperature during two hours and then quenched by addition of 5 mL of water. The mixture was extracted twice using EtOAc. The combined extracts were dried and concentrated. After flash column using 40-70% EtOAc in hexane, 0.48 g of white crystals were obtained (42% yield), MS: 294.1 (M++1).
