Reaction Steps

To a suspension of NaH (60%, 47 mg, 1.19 mmol) in anhydrous dimethylformamide (2 mL) was added 2-(methylthio)pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-one (150 mg, 0.78 mmol, prepared by the method in example 1, Steps 1-5, using ammonia in the first step) at room temperature and stirred at 60° C. for 0.5 h. The reaction mixture was cooled down to room temperature and 2-bromobenzyl bromide was added and stirred for 48 h. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (20 mL) and 10% brine solution (10 mL), the two phases were separated, the aqueous layer was washed with ethyl acetate (1×20 mL), the combined organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to give 8-(2-bromobenzyl)-2-(methylthio)pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-one, an orange oil (0.24 g, 0.66 mmol, 84%). ESMS m/z 362 (M+H)+; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 8.63 (s, 1H), 7.69 (d, J=9.5 Hz, 1H), 7.59 (dd, J=7.4, 1.4 Hz, 1H), 7.05-7.15 (m, 2H), 6.74 (d, J=9.5 Hz, 1H), 6.65 (d, J=7.0 Hz, 1H), 5.69 (s, 2H), 2.38 (s, 3H).
