Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-bromo-1-(3-fluorobenzyl)-4-hydroxypyridin-2(1H)-one (0.2 g, 0.72 mmol), potassium carbonate (0.1 g, 0.72 mmol) and (1-bromoethyl)benzene (0.19 g, 1 mmol) in DMF (3.0 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 16 h. DMF was distilled in vacuo, and the residue was purified by flash chromatography (EtOAc in hexane (1:3 v/v) to give pale yellow syrup. This material was further purified by reverse-phase HPLC using 10-90% acetonitrile/water gradient (30 min), at flow rate of 100 mL/min. The appropriate fractions were combined, concentrated to a small volume (20 mL), added EtOAc (25 mL) and washed successively with satd. sod. bicarbonate, water, and dried (Na2SO4). EtOAc was removed under reduced pressure and residue was dried in vacuo to afford the title compound (0.15 g, 52%) as an amorphous substance: 1H NMR (CD3OD/400 MHz) δ 7.56 (d, 1H, J=7.6 Hz), 7.4-7.2 (m, 5H), 7.0 (m, 3H), 6.28 (d, 1H, J=7.6 Hz), 5.65 (m, 1H), 5.19 (d×d, 2H, J=14.8 Hz), and 1.64 (d, 3H, J=6.4 Hz), ES-HRMS m/z 402.0492(M+H C20H18NO2Br, requires 402.0499).
