Reaction Steps

2-(5-(Benzyloxy)-6-propylpyridin-2-yl)-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-ol (537 mg, 1.37 mmol) was dissolved in N,N′-dimethylformamide (2.5 mL) and added with sodium hydride (purity 50%) (79 mg, 1.64 mmol) and methoxymethyl ether chloride (113 μL, 1.50 mmol) under ice-cold conditions The resultant mixture was stirred under ice-cold conditions for 1.5 hours and then further stirred at room temperature for 45 minutes. After completion of the reaction, the reaction solution was added with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried using anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. The obtained residue was purified using silica-gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate), and 3-(benzyloxy)-6-(1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-(methoxymethoxy)propan-2-yl)-2-propylpyridine (407 mg, yield 68%) was obtained as a colorless oil.
