Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

1.1 g sodium and 2.5 g 2,5-dibromo-pyridine are added to 50 ml 2-methoxy-ethanol. The reaction mixture is heated to 90° C. and stirred for a further 2.5 hrs, then poured onto 75 ml of a saturated sodiumhydrogen carbonate solution and extracted three times with methylenchloride. The organic phases are combined, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated and the residue is destilled. 2.2 g 5-Bromo-2-(2-methoxy-ethoxy)-pyridine are obtained., bp. 135° C./0.1 mbar MS (EI): 231 (M).
