Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Bromoacetaldehyde diethyl acetal (6.75 ml, 44.9 mmol) and cesium carbonate (30.9 g, 95.0 mmol) were added to an N,N-dimethylacetamide solution (60 ml) of 6-fluoropyridin-3-ol (3.0 g, 24.9 mmol, purity: at most 94%), and stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere at 100° C. for 15 hours. The reaction solution was cooled with ice, water was added, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated saline water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (Biotage, hexane:ethyl acetate=17:1 to 6:1) to obtain 5-(2,2-diethoxyethoxy)-2-fluoropyridine (5.67 g, yield: 99%) as a pale yellow oil.
