As shown in step 3-iii of Scheme 3, 3-(difluoromethoxy)-2-methoxypyridine (270 mg, 1.54 mmol) was dissolved in 5 mL of DCM and BBr3 (540 μL; 1275 mg; 4.10 mmol) in heptane was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 10 minutes at RT under an atmosphere of nitrogen, brought to reflux, and then stirred an additional 4 hours. The mixture was cooled and water was added to quench the reaction. The pH was adjusted to 7-8 with sodium bicarbonate, the organics partitioned, and the aqueous layer saturated with NaCl and extracted twice more with DCM. The combined organics were dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and the volatiles removed under reduced pressure. The product was purified by silica gel chromatography (DCM to 5% MeOH/DCM gradient) to yield 3-(difluoromethoxy)pyridin-2-ol as a white solid (Compound 1008, 986 mg, 97% yield): ESMS (M+H) 162.
