Procedure: 4-Chloro-2,6-dimethylphenol (5.0 g, 32 mmol), bromoacetonitrile (2.2 mL, 32 mmol) and potassium carbonate (6.6 g, 48 mmol) are combined with acetone (50 mL) and heated at reflux for 18 h. The reaction is filtered, concentrated and the residue partitioned between dichloromethane and water. The organic phase is washed with 1N HCl and water and is then dried over magnesium sulfate, concentrated and purified by column chromatography (silica, 10% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to provide the title compound. MS (EI) 195 (M)+, Cl pattern. heated at reflux for 18 h The reaction is filtered concentrated the residue partitioned between dichloromethane and water The organic phase is washed with 1N HCl and water is then dried over magnesium sulfate concentrated purified by column chromatography (silica, 10% ethyl acetate in hexanes)

Procedure: To a mixture of (2-chloro-6-methyl-3-nitro-pyridin-4-yl)-(1-ethyl-propyl)-amine (850 mg, 3.30 mmol) and 4-chloro-2,6-dimethylphenol (516 mg, 3.30 mmol) in 25 ml of dry THF was added potassium tert-butoxide (370 mg, 3.30 mmol) and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was quenched with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried and concentrated to give a yellow solid (1.31 g). The solid was purified through silica gel column chromatography using 6:4 ratio of chloroform:hexane as eluent to give 1.10 g (88%) of the title compound as yellow solid, mp 152-154° C. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.65 (d, 1H), 7.05 (s, 2H), 6.21 (s, 1H), 3.41 (m, 1H), 2.15 (s, 3H), 2.11 (s, 6H), 1.5-1.8 (m, 4H), 0.99 (t, 6H) ppm. The mixture was quenched with water extracted with ethyl acetate The organic layer was dried concentrated

The mixture was quenched with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried and concentrated to give a yellow solid (1.31 g). The solid was purified through silica gel column chromatography using 6:4 ratio of chloroform:hexane as eluent to give 1.10 g (88%) of the title compound as yellow solid, mp 152-154° C. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.65 (d, 1H), 7.05 (s, 2H), 6.21 (s, 1H), 3.41 (m, 1H), 2.15 (s, 3H), 2.11 (s, 6H), 1.5-1.8 (m, 4H), 0.99 (t, 6H) ppm.
