Trifluoroacetic acid → 3-Benzyl-5-bromopyridin-4-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-bromo-5-(hydroxyl-phenyl-methyl)pyridin-4-one 11 (0.125 g, 91 mmol), TFA (16 mL) and Et3SiH in anhydrous dichloromethane (30 mL) was stirred at rt for 10 h [Borzilleri, et al., U.S. Pat. 20050245530]. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel (dichloromethane:methanol, 98:2). Yield 0.081 g (69%), white solid. 1H NMR (MeOH— d4, 500 MHz): δ 8.12 (s, 1H), 7.47 (s, 1H), 7.29-7.17 (m, 5H), 3.83 (s, 2H). 13C NMR (MeOH—d4, 125 MHz): δ 175.2, 140.7, 139.5, 136.9, 130.8, 130.0, 130.0, 129.5, 129.5, 127.3, 114.1, 34.9.
