To a solution of methyl 6-[2,6-difluoro-4-(1-hydroxyethyl)phenyl]-5-fluoro-pyridine-2-carboxylate (1.21 mmol, 376 mg; penultimate intermediate en route to Intermediate 136) in N,N-dimethylformamide (50 mL) at 0° C. was added sodium hydride (60 mass % in mineral oil, 1.5 equiv., 1.81 mmol, 72.5 mg). The mixture was stirred for 2 minutes, then iodomethane (3.0 equiv., 3.62 mmol, 0.226 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 days. The reaction mixture was quenched with water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The residue was purified on silica eluted with 0 to 50% EtOAc in Heptane to provide methyl 6-(2,6-difluoro-4-(1-methoxyethyl)phenyl)-5-fluoropicolinate (392 mg, 63%). This ester was diluted with MeOH (15 mL) and water (5 mL) and lithium hydroxide (60 mg) was added. The mixture was stirred overnight at rt. The reaction was quenched by the addition of 1 N HCl(aq), then the mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed with brine. The organic extracts were dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo to provide the title compound (quant) which was used without purification.
