1-Octanol → 2-Fluoro-3-(octyloxy)-6-[4-(octyloxy)phenyl]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.00 g (11.5 mmol) of diethyl azodicarboxylate are added dropwise at 0° C. to 3.00 g (11.5 mmol) of triphenylphosphine in 50 ml of tetrahydrofuran, and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. 2.42 g (7.7 mmol) of 2-fluoro-3-hydroxy-6-(4-octyloxyphenyl)pyridine and 1.00 g (7.7 mmol) of 1-octanol are then added. After a reaction time of 18 hours at room temperature, the solvent is distilled off, and the residue is purified by chromatography (silica gel, 95:5 hexane/ethyl acetate). Recrystallization from acetonitrile gives 1.38 g of 2-fluoro-3-octyloxy-6-(4-octyloxyphenyl)pyridine. ##STR19##
