Reaction Steps

To a 0.2 M solution of 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyridine (4.5 mmol) in methylene chloride is added triethylamine (24 mmol), followed by methanesulfonyl chloride (4.8 mmol.) The resulting mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture is then poured into water and extracted with methylene chloride. The organic extracts are combined, washed with NaHCO3 (sat), and then 1M aq. HCl. The acidic aqueous extracts are neutralized with NaHCO3 (sat) and then extracted with methylene chloride. The organic extracts were combined, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated to afford the desired product (1).
