Reaction Steps

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 light brown solution. 2-ethylphenol (0.378 mL, 3.15 mmol) and K2 CO3 (1308 mg, 9.46 mmol) were added. The reaction vessel was sealed and heated in Biotage Initiator at 110° C. for 1 hour. After cooling the reaction was complete. 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 3×10 mL of water, 10 mL of brine, dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and evaporated under vacuum to give the title compound as a pale orange oil. (623 mg).
