Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 1-(pyridin-2-yl)butan-1-ol (0.35 g, 2.3 mmol; Example 231, Step A) and triphenylphosphine (1.1 g, 4.2 mmol) in THF (15 mL) at 0° C. under N2 atmosphere was added CBr4 (1.2 g, 3.5 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 2 min, and then was allowed to warm to rt and stirred for 25 min. The precipitate was filtered off through a pad of Celite® (J. T. Baker, Phillipsberg, N.J., diatomaceous earth), the solid was washed with cold THF (10 mL). The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification of the residue by flash chromatography on silica gel with 0-5-15% EtOAc/Hexanes provided the title compound as colorless oil. Mass Spectrum (ESI) m/z=214.0 and 216.0 (M+1).
