Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (1.27 g of a 50% suspension in mineral oil, 26.4mmol) was added to a solution of 4-hydroxypyridine (2.5 g, 26 mmol) in DMF (50 ml) and the mixture stirred for 30 minutes. 2-(2-Bromoethoxy)tetrahydropyran (5.0 g, 23.9 mmol), (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1948, 70, 4187), in DMF (5 ml) was added and the mixture heated at 80° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool, diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water, dried (MgSO4) and the solvent removed by evaporation. The residue was purified by column chromatography eluting with methylene chloride/methanol mixtures (100/0 increasing to 97/3) to give 1-[2-(tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)ethyl]-1,4-dihydro-4-pyridone (1.5 g, 28%).
