Reaction Steps

Benzyl alcohol (5.1 g; 0.05 mols) was reacted with 2,6-dichloropyridine (3.5 g; 0.024 mols) utilizing sodium hydride (1.2 g) and, as solvent, dimethylformamide by the procedure of Example 1 above. Usual work up, chromatography and recrystallisation gave 2,6-dibenzyloxypyridine as a colorless solid (5.5 g; 81%). Melting point: 74° C.
