反应详情

To a mixture of benzyl alcohol (32.0 g), 2-chloro-3-cyanopyridine (37.3 g) and N,N-dimethylformamide (200 mL) was added sodium hydride (60%, oil, 12.92 g) under ice-cooling. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 days. Water was added to the reaction mixture and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed successively with water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The obtained residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give 2-(benzyloxy)nicotinonitrile as an oil (39.13 g, 69%) from a fraction eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane (1:6, v/v).
