Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of NaH (0.73 g, 18.1 mmol, 60% in mineral oil) in DMF (10 ml) under N2 atmosphere at 0° C. was added [5-(2-Fluoro-phenyl)-3-methyl-3H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl]-methanol (2.5 g, 12.06 mmol) and stirred for 1 h. Then 2-chloro-5-iodopyridine (3.17 g, 13.27 mmol) was added and reaction mixture was slowly warmed to room temperature and stirred for 4 h. The reaction was monitored by TLC. The reaction mixture was quenched with ice-water, extracted with ethylacetate (50 ml), washed with brine (10 ml), dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford crude mass (4.4 g, 88.9% mass balance). It was triturated with hexane and the solid was filtered and dried under vacuum to furnish 2-[5-(2-Fluoro-phenyl)-3-methyl-3H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethoxy]-5-iodo-pyridine (2.4 g, 48.48%) as yellow solid.
