Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (60% in mineral oil, 172 mg, 4.53 mmol) was added to a mixture of methyl 6-bromo-3-hydroxypicolinate (26B) (1.0 g, 4.31 mmol) and 3-phenoxypropyl bromide (927 mg, 4.31 mmol) in DMA (20 mL) at rt. The mixture was heated to 100° C. for 1.75 hours, cooled, diluted with 10% citric acid and extracted with EtOAc. The organic phases were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a gradient of PE:EtOAc 100:0-75:25, to provide 1.35 g (86%) of the desired product methyl 6-bromo-3-(3-phenoxypropoxy)picolinate (26C): 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.52 (1H, d), 7.27 (2H, m), 6.92 (2H, m), 4.25 (2H, t), 4.19 (2H, t), 3.92 (3H, s), 2.30 (2H, t).
