Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(2-trimethylsilyl-ethanesulfonyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-[2,3′]bipyridinyl-4-one (106.1 mg, 0.31 mmol) in DMF (0.5 mL) was added cesium fluoride (153.5 mg, 1.0 mmol) under Ar atmosphere. The mixture was heated at 90° C. for 2 hours, then cooled to room temperature. Acetic acid (0.062 mL, 1.085 mmol) was added, and the mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and filtered. The filtrate was taken to dryness under reduced pressure. Purification of the residue by flash chromatography (dichloromethane/methanol 95:5) gave 2,3-dihydro-1H-[2,3′]bipyridinyl-4-one (51 mg, 93.5%).
