Reaction Steps

3,4-Dimethoxy-2-hydroxymethylpyridine (0.34 g, 0.002 mol) was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (8 ml). SOCl2 (0.27 g, 0.00227 mol) in CH2Cl2 (2 ml) was added under stirring at room temperature. After 10 min the mixture was neutralized with NaHCO3 (5 ml). The phases were separated, the CH2Cl2 phase was washed with NaCl-solution, dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated giving the desired product (0.61 g, 88%).
