Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Into a 250-mL round-bottom flask, was placed a solution of 6-(bromomethyl)pyridine-3-carbonitrile (3 g, 15.23 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in CH3CN (100 mL). Potassium carbonate (4.24 g, 30.68 mmol, 2.00 equiv) and 4-(dimethoxymethyl)pyridin-3-ol (2.83 g, 16.73 mmol, 1.10 equiv) were added to the reaction mixture. The resulting solution was stirred for 2 h at 50° C., and then it was concentrated under vacuum. The residue was applied onto a silica gel column with ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1:3) as eluent to furnish 1.4 g (32%) of 6-([[4-(dimethoxymethyl)pyridin-3-yl]oxy]methyl)pyridine-3-carbonitrile as a red solid.
