Reaction Steps

To a solution of acetic acid 3-phenoxy-pyridin-2-ylmethyl ester (0.234 g, 0.96 mmol) in MeOH (10 mL) was added K2CO3 (0.264 g, 1.92 mmol) and the mixture stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The mixture was concentrated and the resultant residue was diluted with CH2Cl2 (30 mL). The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (2×30 mL), dried (MgSO4), and concentrated to give (3-phenoxy-pyridin-2-yl)-methanol as a clear oil (0.130 g, 68%), which was used without further purification. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 4.26 (t, 1H, J=4.8 Hz), 4.84 (d, 2H, J=4.3 Hz), 6.97 (m, 2H), 7.18 (m, 3H), 7.37 (m, 2H), 8.32 (dd, 1H, J=2.9, 1.4 Hz).
