Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of methyl 5-bromo-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-4-carboxylate (2.5 g, 10.77 mmol) in MeCN (35 mL) was added silver carbonate (4.46 g, 16.16 mmol) and benzyl bromide (1.54 mL, 12.93 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to 65° C. and stirred for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered through a plug of Celite® and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with 50-100% DCM in cyclohexane to give the title compound (3.31 g, 95%).
