Cesium carbonate → 2-Chloro-5-(2,2-dimethylpropoxy)pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

5.2 g (40.0 mmol) 6-chloropyridin-3-ol, 11.9 g (60.0 mmol) 1-iodo-2,2-dimethylpropane, 19.6 g (60.0 mmol) cesium carbonate and 120 ml diethylene glycol dimethyl ether are divided into five portions of equal size and are reacted in portions at 160° C. for 4 h in a single mode microwave (CEM Explorer). Thereafter, the five reaction mixtures obtained are combined, the solid is filtered off and rinsed with diethylene glycol dimethyl ether and the filtrate and wash solutions are combined. The majority of the solvent is removed and 300 ml water are added to the concentrated solution (approx. 50 ml). The mixture is stirred for 30 min and the solid obtained is filtered off, washed once with water and dried under a high vacuum.
