Reaction Steps

K2CO3 (450 mg, 3.27 mmol) and 6-chloronicotinonitrile (270 mg, 1.97 mmol) were added to 4-hydroxy-benzaldehyde (200 mg, 1.64 mmol) in DMF (2 mL) and the resulting mixture was heated to 70° C. for 3 hrs. The reaction mixture was then diluted with water and the resulting was filtered and dried to afford 310 mg (79.1% yield) of 6-(4-formyl-phenoxy)nicotinonitrile. LCMS Purity: 97.3%.
