Picolyl chloride → HCID 15166213, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.39 g of 60% sodium hydride was added to a suspension of 1.20 g (6.5 mmol) of 4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-2,3-dimethylpyridine N-oxide in 40 ml of tetrahydrofuran under cooling with ice in a nitrogen atmosphere to obtain a mixture. This mixture was stirred for 0.5 hour, followed by the addition of 0.83 g (6.5 mmol) of 2-chloromethylpyridine. The obtained mixture was treated under reflux for 8 hours, cooled and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography (solvent: ethyl acetate/n-hexane=4:1~CHCl3 /MeOH=19:1) to obtain 0.61 g of 2,3-dimethyl-4-(2-pyridylmethoxyethoxy)pyridine N-oxide.
