2-(2-Hydroxyethyl)pyridine → HCID 68857749, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

7.05 g (50 mmol) of 2-fluoronitrobenzene, 6.77 g (50 mmol) of 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyridine and 16.62 g (50 mmol) of cesium carbonate in 30 mL of dimethyformamide were stirred at room temperature for 7 days. The mixture was then filtered, and the filtrate was subjected to fractional distillation. The solvent and unreacted 2-fluoronitribenzene distilled below 100° C. at 8 to 4 mbar. The product distilled in a bulb tube still at 170 to 180° C. of furnace temperature under a vacuum of 3 mbar.
