Reaction Steps

A suspension of N-acetyl-4-(pyrid-2-ylmethoxy)aniline (116 g; 480 mmol), prepared as in step 1, in 1000 mL 95% ethanol and 130 mL 10M aqueous KOH was refluxed for 2 days. The reaction was concentrated and diluted with water. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to give 4-(pyrid-2-ylmethoxy)aniline as a brown oil.
