Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of tert-butyl 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylcarbamate (21.02 g, 82.99 mmol) in acetonitrile (250 mL) was added potassium carbonate (30.61 g, 221.5 mmol) and 5-(chloromethyl)-2-methylpyridine hydrochloride (16.25 g, 91.29 mmol). The resulting mixture was heated to reflux. After 63 h, the brown suspension was allowed to cool to room temperature and was diluted with water (1000 mL). The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (3×250 mL). The combined organic phases were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to provide 31.59 g (>100%) of tert-butyl 3-methoxy-4-((6-methylpyridin-3-yl)methoxy)benzylcarbamate as a brown oil.
