Sodium hydride → 2-[3-(Azetidin-yl)propoxy]-5-bromopyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (1.364 g, 56.82 mmol) was added to 3-(azetidin-1-yl)propan-1-ol (2.62 g, 22.73 mmol) in THF (20 mL) at ambient temperature under an inert atmosphere and the reaction stirred for 10 minutes. 5-Bromo-2-fluoropyridine (2.0 g, 11.36 mmol) was added and the resulting solution stirred for 1 h before being quenched with water (20 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (5×50 mL). The organics were combined, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford the desired material (3.75 g, 122%) as a white solid. NMR Spectrum: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.80 (2H, m), 2.11 (2H, m), 2.55 (2H, t), 3.18 (4H, t), 4.328 (2H, t), 6.64 (1H, d), 7.62 (1H, dd), 8.16 (1H, d). Mass Spectrum: m/z (ES+)[M+H]+=271.
