Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-chloro-5-nitropyridine (LXV) (1.98 g, 12.5 mmol) and 3-fluorophenol (LXVI) (1.4 g, 12.5 mmol) in pyridine (20 mL) was heated at 120° C. overnight under argon. The solution was cooled to room temperature and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was dissolved in EtOAc, washed with water, brine, dried over MgSO4 and evaporated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (100% hexane→2:98 EtOAc:hexane) to give 2-(3-fluorophenoxy)-5-nitropyridine (LXVII) as a yellow viscous oil (2.27 g, 9.7 mmol, 77% yield). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ ppm 7.11 (dd, J=8 Hz, J=2 Hz, 1H), 7.17 (dt, J=8 Hz, J=6 Hz, 1H), 7.23 (td, J=10 Hz, J=2 Hz, 1H), 7.31 (d, J=9 Hz, 1H), 7.52 (q, J=9 Hz, 1H), 8.64 (dd, J=9 Hz, J=3 Hz, 1H), 9.05 (d, J=3 Hz, 1H); ESIMS found for C11H7FN2O3 m/z 234.9 (M+H).
