Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (5,6-dichloropyridin-3-yl)methanol (275 mg, 1.55 mmol) in DMSO (5 mL) were added tert-butyl 2,4,5-trifluorobenzoate (Preparation 97, 300 mg, 1.30 mmol), and potassium carbonate (535 mg, 3.88 mmol) and the mixture stirred for 18 hours at room temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere. Water (10 mL) was added and the mixture extracted with EtOAc (3×20 mL). The combined organics were washed with water (20 mL) and concentrated in vacuo to yield the title compound (490 mg, 96%).
