Procedure

To a mixture of 4-ethoxy-5-iodopyridin-2-ol (800 mg, 3.02 mmol) in THF (10 mL) was added (bromomethyl)benzene (619 mg, 3.62 mmol) and silver carbonate (1665 mg, 6.04 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 16 h. The reaction residue was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated. The mixture was diluted with H2O and extracted with DCM. The combined organic extract was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The resulting 2-(benzyloxy)-4-ethoxy-5-iodopyridine (800 mg, 1.915 mmol, 63.4% yield) was used to next step without further purification: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.28 (s, 1H), 7.45-7.43 (m, 2H), 7.38-7.36 (m, 3H), 6.22 (s, 1H), 5.33 (s, 2H), 4.12-4.07 (m, 2H), 1.48 (t, J=6.8 Hz, 3H); ES-LCMS m/z 355.9 (M+H).
