Thionyl Chloride → HCID 11086324, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-[(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)oxy]-2-pyridinemethanol (10.2 g, 0.043 mol) and thionyl chloride (10 mL) is stirred at room temperature for 90 minutes. Excess thionyl chloride is hydrolyzed by adding water to the reaction mixture until no further reaction is observed. The reaction mixture is then neutralized with saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic extracts are combined, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo to obtain the title product (10.6 g, 97%).
