Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A reaction mixture of 5-methyl-6-vinylpyridin-3-ol (100 mg, 0.00074 mmol), sodium 1-bromobut-2-yne (118 mg, 0.00088 mol, Alfa-Aesar) and cesium carbonate (361 mg, 0.0011 mol) in DMF (2 mL) was stirred for 2 h at 80° C. After completion of the reaction, reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature, poured into ice-cold water (10 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×10 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was purified by column chromatography using silica gel and eluting with 0-10% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether to give 5-(but-2-yn-1-yloxy)-3-methyl-2-vinylpyridine as an off white solid (85 mg, 61.5%). MS m/z=188.3 [M+H]+.
