Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-aminophenol (3.7 g, 34.09 mmol) in DMSO (50 mL) was added Cs2CO3 (30.7 g, 94.46 mmol). The mixture stirred for 10 minutes and then 2,4-dichloropyridine (5.0 g, 33.79 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at 120° C. for 1.5 h. The mixture was cooled and diluted with water. The aqueous solution was extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL). The organic extracts were combined, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to afford a dark oil. The oil was purified via column chromatography, eluting with 30-40% EtOAc/hexanes, to afford 4-(3-Aminophenoxy)-2-chloropyridine (6.63 g, 89%) as a brown solid.
