The reaction of 2-chloropyridine with 2-(N-methyl amino)ethanol provides 2-(N-methyl-N-(2-pyridyl)amino)ethanol (II), which on coupling reaction with 4-fluorobenzaldehyde (III) in an aprotic polar solvent with an alkali metal hydroxide or an alkali metal alkoxide as base yields 4-[2-(N-methyl-N-(2-pyridyl)amino)ethoxy]benzaldehyde (IV) with an 88% yield (Reaction I).
