3-(Chloromethyl)pyridine hydrochloride → HCID 59389378, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The compound of Example 199 (100 mg) was dissolved in DMF (3.6 mL) and 60% sodium hydride (32 mg) was added at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. Subsequently, 3-(chloromethyl)pyridine-hydrochloride (65.8 mg) was added and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 6 hours. The reaction was terminated by adding a saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution and the mixture was extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine and dried over sodium sulfate. Evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure and purification by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=1:4) afforded the title compound as a yellow powder (98.5 mg).
