Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2-Bromo-5-hydroxypyridine (2 mmol) is dissolved in DMF (10 ml) and NaH (1.4 eq., 60% suspension in liquid paraffin) is added. After 30 min 1-Bromo-2-methylpropane (1.1 eq.) is added and the reaction solution is stirred 3 days at 100° C. The reaction solution is pored into water and extracted with methyl-tert.-butyl ether. The combined organic layers are dried over MgSO4 and the solvent is removed in vacuo. 2-Bromo-5-isobutoxy-pyridine is obtained after reversed phase column chromatography (water/acetonitrile+0.1% TFA) as a yellow oil in a yield of 19%; HPLC (method C): 2.08 min; LC-MS (method A): 2.05 min, 241.95 (M+H+).
