Participants

Reaction Steps

4.30 g of 2-chloro-4-pyridinemethanol, 20 ml of dimethoxymethane and 0.57 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate were suspended in 200 ml of benzene. The suspension was passed through a Soxhlet extractor containing 25 g of 2 Å molecular sieves, and refluxed for 20 hours. After cooling, the reaction solution was washed with a saturated solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate and water, dried, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was distilled to give 4.0 g (yield 71%) of 2-chloro-4-(methoxymethoxymethyl)-pyridine.
