5-(Bromomethyl)-2-(2-fluoro-5-methoxyphenyl)-3-neopentylpyridine → Ethyl 3-cyclopropyl-3-(2-((6-(2-fluoro-5-methoxyphenyl)-5-neopentylpyridin-3-yl)methoxy)pyridin-4-yl)propanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-(bromomethyl)-2-(2-fluoro-5-methoxyphenyl)-3-neopentylpyridine (88 mg), ethyl 3-cyclopropyl-3-(2-hydroxypyridin-4-yl)propanoate (62 mg), silver carbonate (72.6 mg) and toluene (2.0 mL) was heated under reflux for 3 hr. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered. The solvent in the filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (28 mg) as an orange oil.
