Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-hydroxy-2-methoxyisonicotinaldehyde (306 mg, 2 mmol, 1 eq.), 2-bromo-3-(chloromethyl)pyridine (crude above, 2 mmol), and K2CO3 (828 mg, 6 mmol, 3 eq.) in DMF (1.0 mL) was heated at 50° C. for 2 h. The mixture was cooled and added to water (50 mL) dropwise. The precipitate was filtered, washed with water, dried under high vacuo to give 5-((2-bromopyridin-3-yl)methoxy)-2-methoxyisonicotinaldehyde (350 mg, 85%) as an yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz; CDCl3) δ=10.51 (s, 1H), 8.42 (dd, 1H), 8.09 (s, 1H) 7.91 (d, 1H), 7.40 (dd, 1H), 7.15 (s, 1H), 5.27 (s, 2H), 3.95 (s, 3H). LRMS (M+H+) m/z 323.0.
