Reaction Steps

A mixture of 15.4 g of 3-hydroxy-2-methoxy-pyridine, 16 g of potassium carbonate, 25 ml of epichlorohydrin and 150 ml of acetonitrile is refluxed for 7 hours. Cooling and filtering the mixture and evaporating the filtrate yields crude 3-(2,3-epoxy-propoxy)-2-methoxypyridine, which is used without further purification.
