Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

NaH (2.88 g, 66 mmol, 55% dispersion in mineral oil) was stirred in dry DME (200 ml), under Argon. A mixture of 2,5-dichloropyridine (8.87 g, 60 mmol) and 4-hydroxypiperidine (6.67 g, 66 mmol) dissolved in dry DME (200 ml) was added to the NaH suspension dropwise, over a period of 30 minutes. After complete addition the reaction is heated to 82° C. for 48 hrs, maintaining the Argon blanket. The reaction was slowly quenched with water before removing most of the THF. Extracted the aqueous with DCM (×3). The organic layers were dried with Na2SO4 and evaporated in vacuo to afford 2-(4-piperidinyloxy)-5-chloropyridine as a yellow oil (12.7 g, quantitative).
