Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2-(2-Bromoethyl)-1,3-dioxolane (2.49 ml, 19.9 mmol) and cesium carbonate (15.1 g, 46.4 mmol) were added to an N,N-dimethylacetamide solution (25 ml) of 6-fluoropyridin-3-ol (1.5 g, 13.3 mmol), and stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere at 100° C. for 12 hours. The reaction solution was cooled with ice, water and ethyl acetate were added, and 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=5:1 to 1:1) to obtain 5-[2-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)ethoxy]-2-fluoropyridine (2.43 g, yield: 86%) as a colorless oil.
