Procedure

A solution of 45 ml (0.47 mol) of 3-bromopyridine and 52 g (0.53 mol) of 5-hexyn-l-ol in 150 ml of triethylamine and 500 ml of dichloromethane is degassed for 15 minutes with argon, and 3 g (4.3 mmol) of bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II)chloride and -350 mg of cuprous iodide is added. The mixture is heated at reflux for 3 h. The cooled reaction mixture is diluted with 1 liter of dichloromethane and is washed with water and brine, dried (K2CO3), concentrated and bulb-to-bulb distilled (b.p. 120°-130° C./0.05 mbar), to give 63 g of 6-(3-pyridyl)hex-5-ynol as a yellow oil, which is dissolved in 300 ml of isopropanol and hydrogenated for 16 h over 6 g 10% palladium on carbon in a Parr-hydrogenator. The crude product is evaporatively distilled (b.p. 120-130° C./0.05 mbar), yielding 61.8 g (65%) of 6-(3-pyridyl)hexanol as a faintly yellow, viscous liquid. (C11H17NO; F.W. 179.3)
