Procedure

To the solution of 2-(6-bromo-pyridin-2-yl)-3-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethyl-propionic acid ethyl ester (30.0 g, 98.638 mmol) in dry THF (250 ml) was added tetrabutyl ammonium bromide (15.8 g, 49.319 mmol) and di-isopropyl ethyl amine (127.47 g, 163.0 ml) followed by methoxymethyl chloride was added drop wise at rt. Resultant reaction contents were refluxed at 65° C. for 3 h and cooled to rt. Reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by column chromatography over silica gel using 10% ethyl acetate in hexane to furnish title compound as a brown liquid. Yield=20.4 g (52%). TLC (30% ethyl acetate in hexane) Rf=0.55; LCMS: RtH7=1.639, [M+1]+=392.0 and 394.0; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.49 (t, 1H), 7.35 (d, 1H), 7.22 (d, 1H), 4.62-4.47 (m, 4H), 4.24-4.16 (m, 6H), 3.25 (s, 6H), 1.23 (t, 3H).
