Allyl Alcohol → 2-(Allyloxy)-5-chloro-3-nitropyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 5-chloro-3-nitro-pyridin-2-ol (0.600 g, 3.4 mmol), DBAD (1.19 g, 5.16 mmol), triphenylphosphine-polymer supported (3 mmol/g, 1.70 g, 5.16 mmol) in THF (18 mL) was added allyl alcohol (0.42 mL, 6.12 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight, filtered through celite, and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography eluting with hexane/ethyl acetate (95:5 to 1:1) to give 0.120 g (15%) of the desired product. MS (DCI/NH3) m/z: 214.9 (M+H)+; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 5.01 (ddd, J=5.34, 1.40, 1.40 Hz, 2 H) 5.32 (dd, J=10.51, 1.36 Hz, 1 H) 5.49 (dd, J=17.12, 1.53 Hz, 1 H) 6.06 (m, 1 H) 8.28 (d, J=2.37 Hz, 1 H) 8.34 (d, J=2.37 Hz, 1 H).
