A solution of 2,6-dimethylpyridine (292 μl, 2.5 mmol) in 10 ml anhydrous tetrahydrofuran was cooled to −30° C. A 2.5M solution of n-butyllithium in hexanes (1.0 ml, 2.5 mmol) was slowly added dropwise. Once the addition was complete, the reaction was stirred at −30° C. for 1 hour. In a separate flask, a solution of 3-methyl-3H-benzotriazole-5-carboxylic acid methoxy-methyl-amide (500 mg, 2.27 mmol) in 3 ml anhydrous tetrahydrofuran was cooled to −30° C. The cold anion solution was slowly added dropwise to the cold amide solution. Once the addition was complete, the reaction was allowed to slowly warm to room temperature over several hours and stirred overnight. The reaction was quenched with water and the solvent removed by rotary evaporation. The residue was dissolved in saturated aqueous ammonium chloride and extracted three times with chloroform. The combined organics were washed once with water and then once with brine. The combined organics were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to dryness. Crude material was purified on Biotage Flash 40S silica gel column using hexanes/ethyl acetate gradient system (80:20 to 40:60, respectively) as eluent to afford 1-(3-Methyl-3H-benzotriazol-5-yl)-2-(6-methyl-pyridin-2-yl)-ethanone (320 mg, 53%).
