Participants

Reaction Steps

To 4-(benzyloxy)pyridin-2(1H)-one (0.358 g, 1.779 mmol) under nitrogen was added DMF (5 mL) to produce a tan suspension. To the reaction was added NaH (60% in oil) (0.074 g, 1.860 mmol) and stirred for 1.5 hours and then 3,4-difluorobenzonitrile (0.225 g, 1.618 mmol) was added. The reaction was placed in a 90° C. oil bath for 2 hours. To the tan suspension was added 50 mL of EtOAc and the mixture washed with 4×25 mL of water, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to give 0.42 g pale yellow solids. This material was purified by flash chromatography (1-5% MeOH in CH2Cl2) to yield product (263 mg, 0.805 mmol, 50%) as a tan solid. MS (ESI) 321.2 (M+1).
