Reaction Steps

This compound was prepared according to the procedure in Preparation 19. Thus, reacting 14 g (0.15 mole) of 3-hydroxypyridine with 27 ml (0.4 mole) of 2-chlorethanol and 85 g of potassium carbonate in 150 ml of 2-butanone at reflux temperature gave 4.9 g of the title compound after column chromatography (5% methanol in methylene chloride on silica gel).
