Dimethoxymethane → HCID 14512958, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

70 ml of 2-bromo-4-pyridinemethanol, 70 ml of dimethoxymethane and 2.15 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate were suspended in 300 ml of benzene. The suspension was passed through a Soxhlet extractor containing 25 g of 3 Å molecular sieves, and refluxed for 20 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate and water, dried, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was distilled to give 13.2 g (yield 50%) of 2-bromo-4-(methoxymethoxymethyl)pyridine.
