Potassium Carbonate → 3-Iodo-7-(2-methoxy-ethyl)-2-phenyl-7H-pyrano[2,3-c]pyridine-4,8-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-iodo-2-phenyl-7H-pyrano[2,3-c]pyridine-4,8-dione (100 mg, 0.27 mmol) in DMF (3 mL) was added potassium carbonate (55 mg, 0.40 mmol), followed by 2-bromoethyl methyl ether (28 μL, 0.37 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 24 hours. The resulting mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate (40 mL) and water (20 mL) and the phases were separated. The organic layer was washed with brine (20 mL), dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was subjected to flash chromatography (SiO2, 60% ethyl acetate in cyclohexane) to give the title compound as a white solid (67 mg, 59%). LCMS (Method B): RT=3.94 min, [M+H]+=424.
