Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of N,N-dimethylaminoethanol (4.16 g, 46.7 mmol) and (3-benzyloxy)-2-bromopyridine (from Step 1; 8.22 g, 31.1 mmol) in dry DMF (50 mL) was sodium tert-butoxide (5.98 g, 62.2 mmol) added in one portion. The reaction mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 1.5 h, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the oily residue was taken up between CHCl3/water. The aqueous phase was extracted twice with CHCl3 and the combined organic layers were washed once with brine, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated under reduced pressure. This gave 8.4 g (100%) of the title compound as a light brown oil. Purity 95% (HPLC). HRMS m/z calcd for C16H20N2O2 (M)+ 272.1525. found 272.1537.
