Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of sodium hydride (60% in oil, 440 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (40 mL) was added dropwise phenylmethanethiol (1.37 g) at room temperature, 2-bromo-5-fluoropyridine (1.76 g) was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 5 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residual aqueous layer was extracted twice with ethyl acetate. Combined organic layers were washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent:hexane-hexane-ethyl acetate=97:3) to give the title compound as a crude brown oil (yield 244 mg).
