Claims
- 1. A method of preparing an ether compound of the formula:
- A--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --O--B
- wherein A represents 5-ethyl-2-pyridyl and B represents 4-formylphenyl, which comprises reacting a compound of the formula:
- A--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --X
- wherein A is as defined above and X represnts methylsulfonyloxy or p-toluene sulfonyloxy with a compound of the formula:
