In summary, we have developed an effective method of
nickel-catalyzed removal of OPy group from aryl and benzyl 2-
pyridyl ethers by using sodium isopropoxide as reducing agent.
In both cases no products formed via CPy-O bond cleavage
were observed. The reaction showed a broad scope of
substrates and good compatibility of functional groups, and
gave mostly excellent yields. We believe that this methodology
is a valuable complement to the reductive deoxygenation of

phenol and benzyl alcohol derivatives and provides
subsequent conversion way for the 2-pyridyloxy directing
group in the functionalization of C H bonds. The catalytic

reduction of aryl and benzyl 2-pyridyl ethers using hydrogen or
hydrosilanes as mutually complementary method will be
explored in the near future.
