Procedure

4.4 Grams of a 45% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, 100 mg of tetrabutylammonium bromide and 5 ml of toluene were mixed, and to the resulting mixture, a solution of 0.7 g of 2,2-dimethylbutanol and 1.72 g of 2-chloromethyl-6-phenoxypyridine in 10 ml of toluene was added at room temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere. After 12 hours, the reaction solution was poured into hydrochloric acid-ice water and extracted twice with diethyl ether. The ether layers were combined, washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was treated by preparative thin layer chromatography (developing solvent, hexane:ethyl acetate=5:1) to obtain 0.45 g of desired 6-phenoxy-2-pyridylmethyl 2,2-dimethylbutyl ether [present compound (17)] as an oily product.
