Procedure

A mixture of 2,6-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (1.96 g, 14.2 mmol, 2 eq.) and Cs2CO3 (7.5 g, 21.3 mmol, 3 eq.) in DMF (180 mL) was stirred at rt for 30 min. To this mixture was added 3-(chloromethyl)-2-(1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)pyridine hydrochloride (1.93 g, 7.1 mmol, 1 eq.) at rt. The mixture was continued to stir at rt O/N, filtered, concentrated and purified on silica gel using a mixture of EtOAc and hexanes as eluent to give 2-hydroxy-6-((2-(1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)pyridin-3-yl)methoxy)benzaldehyde (920 mg, 37%) as a pale yellow oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 11.96 (s, 1H), 10.40 (s, 1H), 8.77 (dd, J=4.8, 1.5 Hz, 1H), 8.00 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 7.63 (d, J=1.8 Hz, 1H), 7.49-7.34 (m, 2H), 6.59 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 1H), 6.37 (d, J=1.8 Hz, 1H), 6.29 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 1H), 5.10 (s, 2H), 4.67 (sep, J=6.7 Hz, 1H), 1.50 (d, J=6.6 Hz, 6H).
