Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-bromo-2-methoxy-3-nitropyridine (5 g, 21.46 mmol), (2-hydroxy-ethyl)-propyl-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (4.36 g, 21.46 mmol) and K2CO3 (2.97 g, 21.46 mmol) in dimethylformamide (DMF) (60 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 24 h and at 40° C. for 4 h. After evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography with dichloromethane/methanol (10:0; 9:1; 7:3; 0:10) as eluent to provide 2.81 g (36.9%) of the product.
