Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (60%, 0.18 g, 4,5 mmol) was added to a solution of 2-hydroxymethyl-α-methyoxyimino-N-methyl-benzeneacetamide (1.0 g, 4.5 mmol) in dry THF (25 mL) and stirred for 10 minutes at 25° C. under N2 atmosphere. The pyridine product of Example 1 (0.86 g, 4.5 mmol) was added to this reaction mixture and stirred for 16 hours. Water (20 mL) was added and the resulting mixture was extracted with ether (3×50 mL), dried (anhydrous Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to yield crude residue (1.5 g), which was then triturated with ether/pentane to give α-(methoxyimino)-N-methyl-2-[[[5-bromo-3-methyl-2-pyridinyl]oxy]methyl]-benzeneacetamide (1.1 g) as a white solid. M.P. 115-116° C.
