Ammonium Hydroxide → 2-(1-Methylcyclopropyl)pyridin-4(1H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(1-methyl-cyclopropyl)-pyran-4-one (Step 40.6) (440 mg, 2.93 mmol) and a 30% aqueous solution of ammonium hydroxide (100 mL) is stirred for 1 h at reflux, allowed to cool and concentrated. The residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (DCM/MeOH/NH3aq, 94:5:1→92:7:1) to afford 333 mg of the title compound as a yellow solid: ESI-MS: 150.0 [M+H]+; tR=1.25 min (System 1).
