Reaction Steps

5-Amino-2-(2-methylpyridin-3-yloxy)pyridine (D9, 60.3 g, 0.3 mole) in dry CH2Cl2 (2.5L) was cooled to −20° C. under argon. Triethylamine (46 ml, 0.33 mole) was added, followed dropwise by phenyl chloroformate (41 ml, 0.33 mole) and the mixture was stirred at −20° C. for 1 hour. After warming to ambient temperature, the mixture was washed with dil. aq. NaHCO3, dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was recrystallised from ethyl acetate/60-80° petroleum ether to afford the title compound (53.7 g, 56%) as a pink solid.
