Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-methoxy-2(1H)-pyridone (12.5 g., 0.10 moles), potassium hydroxide (8.0 g., 0.12 moles) and ethyl iodide (31.2 g., 0.02 moles) in 200 ml. ethanol is heated at reflux for 4 hours. Proceeding as previous preparations affords 1-ethyl-3-methoxy-2(1H)-pyridone as a clear yellow oil (14.1 g., 92%).
