Dimethylformamide → 2-Nitro-5-(3-nitrophenoxy)pyridine

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-nitrophenol (7.76 g, 55.8 mmol), 5-bromo-2-nitropyridine (10.3 g, 50.7 mmol), cesium carbonate (24.8 g, 76.1 mmol) and N,N-dimethylformamide (150 mL) was stirred at 50° C. for 15 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtrated. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by column chromatography (NH silica gel, hexane/ethyl acetate=100/0→0/100) to give the title compound (4.37 g, 33%) as a yellow solid.
