Procedure

A solution of 1-(5-bromopyridin-2-yl)ethanol (1.0 g, 4.95 mmol), phenol (835 mg, 8.87 mmol), and triphenylphosphine (1.8 g, 6.86 mmol) was stirred in dry tetrahydrofuran (70 mL) at 0° C. under nitrogen atmosphere. To this mixture was added dropwise diisopropyl diazene-1,2-dicarboxylate (1.4 g, 6.92 mmol) over 5 minutes, and the reaction was monitored by thin layer chromatography. After complete disappearance of starting material, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the resultant oil was purified by flash column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate, 1/1) to give 5-bromo-2-(1-phenoxyethyl)pyridine (1.3 g, 94.4%) as a white solid. LRMS (M+H+) m/z: calcd 278.01. found 278 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO) δ 8.60 (d, J=2.1 Hz, 1H), 7.93 (dd, J1=8.4 Hz, J2=2.1 Hz, 1H), 7.41 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.18 (m, 2H), 6.86 (m, 3H), 5.39 (m, 1H), 1.63 (d, J=6.3 Hz, 3H).
