Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Propoxyethanol (1.89 g, 18.1 mmol) was dissolved in 50 mL THF, treated with potassium tert-butoxide (3.05 g, 27.2 mmol), stirred to uniform solution, placed in an addition funnel, and added dropwise to a solution of 2,6-difluoropyridine in 50 mL THF. After stirring overnight at room temperature, the solution was diluted with brine and extracted with ether. The ether extracts were combined and dried over Na2SO4, then concentrated in vacuo to yield 2-fluoro-6-(2-propoxyethoxy)-pyridine (3.33 g, 93%) as a yellow oil.
