Reaction Steps

5-(2-Pyridyl)-1-phenyl-1,2-dihydropyridine-2-one (300 g), N-bromosuccinimide (236.5 g) and N,N-dimethylformamide (1.8 L) were placed in a 10-L reactor, and the reaction mixture was stirred at 30° C. (external temperature) in a nitrogen stream for 3 hours and 15 minutes. 2-Propanol (4.2 L) was added dropwise to the reaction mixture over a period of 9 minutes, followed by adding thereto water (2.1 L) over a period of 7 minutes. The resulting mixture was heated at 85° C. (external temperature) with stirring. After confirming the dissolution of the contents, the resulting solution was stirred at an external temperature of 55° C. for 1 hour. Thereafter, the solution was stirred at 40° C. (external temperature) for another 22 minutes, at 30° C. (external temperature) for further another 23 minutes, and then at 10° C. (external temperature) for still another 15 hours and 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was filtered and the precipitate was washed with 50% 2-propanol-water (2.4 L) and then dried under reduced pressure (60° C., 6 hours) to obtain 341.45 g of 3-bromo-5-(2-pyridyl)-1-phenyl-1,2-dihydropyridine-2-one. Yield: 86.4%.
