Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (5,6-dichloropyridin-3-yl)methanol (commercially available) in CH2Cl2 (0.2 M) at 0° C. was added triethylamine (3 eq.) and chloro(methoxy)methane (2 eq.). After stirring at 0° C. for 3 hours the reaction mixture was concentrated and the crude was purified by chromatography (silica gel, 20-50% EtOAc in hexanes) to afford 2,3-dichloro-5-((methoxymethoxy)methyl)pyridine as a colorless oil.
