Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Chloro-2-pyridinol (2.26 g, 17.4 mmol), 2-bromo-5-methylpyridine (3.00 g, 17.4 mmol), copper (0.022 g, 0.35 mmol) and K2CO3 (2.66 g, 19.2 mmol) were heated at 180° C. for 16 hrs. The brown reaction mixture was cooled, diluted with EtOAc and washed with saturated NaHCO3. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (2×) and the combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed (silica gel, EtOAc: CH2Cl220:80 to 50:50 gradient elution) to afford the title compound as a white solid.
