Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-chloropyridin-3-ol (2.41 g) in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (20 mL) and N,N-dimethylformamide (4 mL) was added potassium tert-butoxide (1.0M in tetrahydrofuran) (18.60 mL). The reaction was stirred for 15 minutes, then methyl 2,4-difluorobenzoate (3.52 g) was added as a solution in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2 mL). The reaction was then heated to 80° C. and stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere for 3 days. The reaction was cooled, diluted with ethyl acetate (100 mL), washed with water (50 mL), 1N aqueous HCl (50 mL), and brine (50 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. Silica gel chromatography (Reveleris 80 g), eluting with 10% ethyl acetate/hexanes provided the title compound.
