Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 0.11 g, 2.7 mmol) was mixed with 3-5 ml of dry dimethylformamide and 2-fluorophenol (0.24 ml, 2.7 mmol) was added to the stirred suspension. When the gas evolution was ceased the reaction mixture was heated at stirring at 60° C. and 5-bromo-2-nitropyridine (0.5 g, 2.5 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture in one portion. The reaction mixture was stirred at 60° C. for about 12 hours. The reaction mixture was then mixed with 50 ml of water and extracted into methylene chloride (3×20 ml). Organic extract was washed with water and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated by rotary evaporation. The resulting mixture was purified by column chromatography on silica (30 g, EtOAc/hexane 1:3) to give 326 mg (57% yield) of desired product.
