2-(2-Hydroxyethyl)pyridine → HCID 86708395, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-nitro-m-cresol (3.0 g, 0.020 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (7.7 g, 0.029 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) cooled with ice bath, diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (5.8 mL, 0.030 mmol) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 30 min. The reaction mixture was cooled with ice bath, and a solution of 2-pyridineethanol (2.6 mL, 0.024 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5.0 mL) was added dropwise to the reaction mixture then the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for further 16 h. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, then the residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel(hexane/ethyl acetate) to afford 2-methyl-4-[2-(2-pyridinyl)ethoxy]-1-nitrobenzene as solid (2.0 g, y. 40%).
