Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

1-Chloro-4-nitrobenzene (40 g, 0.25 mol) and 3-hydroxypyridine (36 g, 0.38 mol) were dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (100 ml). Potassium carbonate (52.6 g, 0.38 mol) was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred for 20 h at 100° C. Water was added to the reaction solution, which was then extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated sodium chloride solution, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate to give 3-(4-nitro-phenoxy)-pyridine.
