4-Penten-1-OL → 2-Pyridinepentanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

9-Borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9-BBN) dissolved in 15 ml of tetrahydrofuran (manufactured by Aldrich Co.) was added to 300 mg (3.483 mmol) of 4-pentene-1-ol and allowed to react at 25° C. for 24 hours. Then, 4-bromopyridine hydrochloride (manufactured by Aldrich Co.) dissolved in water/dimethylformamide (DMF) at a ratio of 2:8, tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (manufactured by Aldrich Co.), and potassium carbonate (manufactured by Aldrich Co.) were added thereto in an equivalent ratio of 1:1.2:0.2 and allowed to react at 70° C. for 6 hours. Then, solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residual material was diluted with ethyl acetate and filtered with Celite. The material thus obtained was purified by column chromatography (column: silica (manufactured by Aldrich Co.), solvent: ethyl acetate/hexane) to obtain 203 mg of pyridinepentanol (yield rate: 48%). The reaction scheme is shown below.
