Potassium Carbonate → Methyl 6-(4-(2-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethoxy)-2,6-difluorophenyl)-5-fluoropicolinate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 6-(2,6-difluoro-4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-fluoropicolinate (1.0 equiv.) and potassium carbonate (4.0 equiv.) in DMF (0.4 M) was added (2-bromoethoxy)(tert-butyl)dimethylsilane (2 equiv.). After stirring for 72 hours at rt the heterogeneous solution was diluted with water, extracted with EtOAc, dried over MgSO4, filtered, concentrated and purified by ISCO SiO2 chromatography to yield methyl 6-(4-(2-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethoxy)-2,6-difluorophenyl)-5-fluoropicolinate in 74% yield. LC/MS=442.1 (M+H), Rt=1.22 min.
