Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 6-(3′-hydroxyphenyl)-pyridine-2-carboxylate (7) (600 mg, 2.6 mmol, 1 eq.) and t-butyl 6-bromohexanoate (980 mg, 3.9 mmol, 1.5 eq.) in DMF (7 mL) was added K2CO3 (1.08 g, 7.8 mmol, 3 eq.). The mixture was stirred vigorously overnight at 60° C. and then concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate, washed with NaH2PO4 buffer (pH 5, 1M) and brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica using ethyl acetate:hexanes eluant to provide 730 mg of 8. Yield 73%. MS m/z 400 [M+H]+
