Triphenylphosphine → 3-bromo-4-[(2,4-difluorobenzyl)oxy]-6-methyl-1-(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)pyridin-2(1H)-one

Temperature

-10 °C

To a cold solution of 2,4-difluorobenzylalcohol (0.569 mL, 5.1 mmol) in THF (5 mL) was added PPh3 (resin, 2.55 g, 7.65 mmol) followed by the addition of DIAD (1.48 mL, 7.65 mmol). The reaction mixture stirred at −10° C. for 15 minutes under nitrogen. A solution of 3-bromo-4-hydroxy-6-methyl-1-(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)pyridin-2(1H)-one (1.0 g, 3.4 mmol), in DMF (10 mL) was added to the resin suspension. The reaction mixture stirred at 0° C. for 1.5 hours and then allowed to stir at room temperature overnight. The resin was filtered and rinsed with fresh MeOH and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate and purified by flash column chromatography (ethyl acetate). The appropriate fractions were concentrated. 1H-NMR (CD3OD, 400 MHz) δ 8.47 (d, 2H, J=5.6 Hz), 7.63 (q, 1H), 7.15 (d, 1H, J=5.6 Hz), 7.05 (m, 2H), 6.55 (s, 1H), 5.45 (s, 2H), 5.31 (s, 2H), 2.35 (s, 3H); ES-HRMS m/z 421.0366/423.0355 (M+H calculated for C19H16N2O2F2Br requires 421.0358/423.0339).
