Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2.0 g (9.05 mmol) 4-iodo-1H-pyridin-2-one and 3.13 g (22.6 mmol) potassium carbonate in 10 mL DMF are added 1.05 mL (10.9 mmol) 1-iodopropane. The mixture is stirred for 2 h at rt. Subsequently the mixture is poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×). The combined organic layers are washed with sat. NaHCO3-solution. After drying over sodium sulphate, the solvent is removed in vacuo and the residue is purified by HPLC (column: Agilent Stablebond C18, 7 μM; eluent A: water+0.15% HCOOH, eluent B: MeOH) to yield the desired product.
