The ice bath was taken away and the mixture allowed to stir at room temperature overnight. TLC showed complete reaction (9:1, hexane:EtOAc). The reaction mixture was quenched with saturated sodium bicarbonate (25 mL). The organic layer was separated and washed with brine and dried (MgSO4). The residue was purified by column chromatography (1:20, EtOAc:Hex) to give the product, 2.04 g (80%), as a pale yellow liquid; 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 8.77 (s, 1H), 7.97 (d, 1H), 7.69 (d, 1H), 5.21 (q, 1H), 2.08 (d, 3H).
-
- A solution of 5-(1-bromoethyl)-2-trifluoromethylpyridine (1.02 g, 4.0 mmol) in ethanol (30 mL) was cooled to 0° C. under an atmosphere of nitrogen. Sodium methyl mercaptide (364 mg, 5.2 mmol) was added batchwise. Once added, the ice bath was removed and the reaction stirred at room temperature under nitrogen overnight. TLC (9:1, hexane:EtOAc) showed complete reaction. The turbid solution was quenched with water and extracted with ether. The organic layer was then washed with brine and dried (MgSO4). The solvent was removed in vacuo to provide the crude product as a pale yellow liquid, 0.83 g (93%); 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 8.65 (s, 1H), 7.89 (d, 1H), 7.67 (d, 1H), 3.93 (q, 1H), 1.94 (s, 3H), 1.62 (d, 3H).
