Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred, cooled (about 0° C.) solution of 1,4-Difluoro-2-nitro-benzene (3.0 mmol) and 3-pyridylcarbinol (3.1 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (8 mL) was added lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (3.2 mmol; 3.2 mL of a 1.0 M solution in tetrahydrofuran). After stirring for 12 hours, the reaction was diluted with 30 mL of ethyl acetate and washed with 30 mL of 10% aqueous sodium carbonate (2×30 mL), brine (1×30 mL), then dried (MgSO4) and filtered. The filtered solution was concentrated under reduced pressure to provide the desired crude product.
