Potassium Carbonate → 2-Bromo-5-(cyclopropylmethoxy)pyridine

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-bromopyridin-3-ol (5.00 g, 28.8 mmol) in DMF (50 mL) were added potassium carbonate (7.96 g, 55.6 mmol) and (bromomethyl)cyclopropane (4.18 mL, 43.1 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 30 min. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, and the mixture was washed three times with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=19:1 to 1:1) to give the title compound (6.32 g, yield 96%) as an oil.
