Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2-(4-bromopyridin-2-yl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanone (3.8 g, 12.4 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (5.4 mL, 31 mmol) in methanol (60 mL) at room temperature was added hydroxylamine hydrochloride (1.7 g, 24.8 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 2 days. After cooling to room temperature, the precipitate formed was filtered and dried under vacuum to afford white needles (2.7 g, 68%). The material was used as is in the next step. LCMS m/z 321.0; 323.0 (M+H)+, ret. time=2.37 min.
