Sodium Carbonate → HCID 11550077, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (6-chloro-5-methylpyridin-3-yl)methanol 74-1 (1.57 g, 10 mmol) in dichloromethane (15 mL) was added dropwise thionyl chloride (3.6 mL, 50 mmol) at 0° C. slowly. The mixture was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature, diluted with dichloromethane (100 mL) and water (100 mL), neutralized with powder sodium carbonate to pH 8. The aqueous layer was further extracted with dichloromethane (50 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated to dryness by rotary evaporation to afford 2-chloro-5-(chloromethyl)-3-methylpyridine 74-2 as pale yellow solid, which was used for next step directly.
