Reaction Steps

2-(4-Iodophenoxy)tetrahydro-2H-pyran (18.2 g, 59.9 mmol) was dissolved in 100 mL dry tetrahydrofuran and cooled to −78° C. under nitrogen atmosphere, and then n-butyllithium was added dropwise to the solution. After addition, the solution was stirred at −78° C. for 0.5 h, 6-chloro-N-methoxy-N-methylnicotinamide (8.0 g, 39.9 mmol) in 50 mL tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise and keep the temperature under −78° C. for 2 h. 100 mL of saturated aqueous ammonium chloride was added. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was dried, concentrated, and purified by column chromatography to give the desired product as yellow solid (8.4 g, 66.3% yield).
