Reaction Steps

A mixture of (5-bromo-pyridin-3-yl)-acetic acid (2.0 g, 9.3 mmol), benzyl alcohol (1.0 g, 9.2 mmol), DCC (1.9 g, mmol), and DMAP (1.0 g, mmol) in DCM (30 mL) is stirred at room temperature for 16 h. The mixture is filtered and the filtrate is concentrated to give the crude product. Purification by flash column chromatography affords 1.2 g of (5-bromo-pyridin-3-yl)-acetic acid benzyl ester.
