Reaction Steps

2.93 g (0.01 mol) PBr3 was added to a solution of 5 g (0.018 mol) 4-[2-(5-ethyl-pyridin-2-yl)-2-hydroxy-ethoxy]-benzaldehyde dissolved in 50 mL chloroform at 55-60° C. Reaction mixture was refluxed for 1 hr. Progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC and after completion of reaction, subsequent work-up in alkaline water furnished 3 g (50%) of desired product.
