Sodium Carbonate → 1-(4-Fluorobenzyl)-5,6-dihydropyridin-2-(1H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(4-fluorobenzyl)-3-(phenylsulfinyl)piperidin-2-one (0.37 g, 1.11 mmol) in toluene (15 mL) was added solid Na2CO3 (2 g, 18.8 mmol). The reaction mixture was refluxed for about 6 hours. The resultant solution was filtered and concentrated under vacuum and the residue chromatographed on silica eluting with a gradient of 040% EtOAc/Hexanes to give the product as colorless glass.
