Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of 2-(5-(hydroxymethyl)-2,6-dimethylpyridin-3-yl)propan-2-ol in 10 mL of CH2Cl2 was added 1.5 mL of SO2Cl2. After 11 h at r.t., the solution was concentrated and CH2Cl2 and 10 mL of sat. NaHCO3 solution were added, and the layers were separated. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. Purification by flash silica gel chromatography (20% Et2O/hexanes) provided 96.5 mg of the desired 3-(chloromethyl)-2,6-dimethyl-5-(prop-1-en-2-yl)pyridine as a mixture.
