Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 5-benzyl-3-bromopyridin-2(1H)-one 4 (3.5 g, 13.5 mmol) in dry DMF (100 mL) was added NaH 60% suspension in mineral oil (0.5 g, 16.2 mmol) and stirred for 30 min, followed by the addition of benzyl bromide (0.1.36 g, 7.9 mmol) and mixture further stirred for 1 h at RT. DMF was distilled off and the residue redissolved in EtOAc (250 mL), washed with brine solution (2×100 mL), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and EtOAc distilled off to give a yellow syrup, which was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (EtOAc:Hexane, 4:6) to give 5. Yield 3.8 g (83%), yellow solid, mp 89-90° C. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz): δ 3.69 (s, 2H, CH2), 5.18 (s, 2H, CH2), 7.11 (d, 1H, CH, J=2 Hz), 7.12-7.39 (m, 10H, Ar—H), 7.60 (d, 1H, CH, J=2 Hz), 13C NMR (CDCl3, 125 MHz): δ 37.4, 53.5, 117.1, 119.1, 126.9, 128.2, 128.2, 128.3, 128.3, 128.6, 128.8, 128.8, 128.9, 128.9, 134.6, 135.8, 138.7, 143.0, 158.3. HRMS (M+H)+ calcd for C19H17BrNO 354.0494, found 354.0455.
