Dimethylformamide → HCID 53884252, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a DMF solution (110 ml) containing 2-pyridinol (10 g, 105 mmol) and 1-bromo-4-chlorobutane (36 ml, 315 mmol) was added potassium carbonate (16 g, 116 mmol), followed by stirring at room temperature for 8 hours. Water (300 ml) was added to the reaction solution, and extraction with ethyl acetate (300 ml) was then conducted. The organic layer was washed with water (300 ml) twice and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off, under reduced pressure, and the residue was then purified by silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=5:1). The purified product was concentrated under reduced pressure to thereby obtain 3.32 g of oily colorless 2-(4-chlorobutoxy)pyridine.
