Methyl iodide → HCID 22621974, compound

To dry THF at -78° C. was added diisopropylamine (5.05 g 48 mmol, 7 mL) and then n-butyl lithium. The reaction mixture was stirred for 0.5 h and then ethyl 4-pyridyl acetic acid (7.85g, 46 mmol) was added, and after stirring for 0.5 h at that -78° C. the reaction temperature was raised to room temperature. DMF (20 mL was added and the reaction mixture cooled to -78° C. again. Methyl iodide (7.07 g, 50.2 mmol, 3.15 mL) was added and the reaction mixture stirred at that temperature for 1 h and then at room temperature overnight. All the volatiles were then stripped off and the reaction mixture was partitioned between water-CH2 Cl2. The aqueous phase was washed twice with CH2Cl2. The combined CH2Cl2 phases were dried and evaporated. The crude product was chromatographed on silica gel eluting with 80% EtOAc hexane to give the title compound (7.88g, MH+ 179).
