Reaction Steps

To a mixed solution of 2-hydroxymethyl-4-(3-methoxypropoxy)-3-methylpyridine (12.02 g (56.9 mmol)) and toluene (96.0 ml) was added dropwise thionyl chloride (8.11 g (68.2 mmol)), so that the internal temperature did not exceed 25° C., which was stirred for about 90 minutes at room temperature. Ethanol (24.0 ml) was added to this mixed solution to obtain a 2-chloromethyl-4-(3-methoxypropoxy)-3-methylpyridine solution.
