Procedure

In a 20 mL microwave vial 2-chloro-5-nitropyridine (500 mg, 3.15 mmol) was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL) to give a pale yellow solution. 2,6-dimethylphenol (385 mg, 3.15 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1308 mg, 9.46 mmol) were added. The reaction vessel was sealed and heated under microwave irradiation (Biotage instrument) at 110° C. for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was quenched with 10 mL of water and diluted with 10 mL of Et2O. Phases were separated through a separating funnel. The organic phase was washed with 3 times 10 mL of water, 10 mL of brine, dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and evaporated under vacuum to afford the title compound as a pale orange oil (555.9 mg).
