Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-acetyl-1-(2-chlorophenyl)-4-hydroxy-6-methylpyridin-2(1H)-one (0.56 g, 2.02 mmol) in DMF (5.0 mL), benzyl bromide (0.3 mL) and potassium carbonate (0.3 g, 2.16 mmol) were added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h, and at 65° C. for 1 h under argon atmosphere. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was partitioned between 5% citric acid (25 mL) and EtOAc (50.0 mL). The organic phase was washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated to dryness. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel flash chromatography using 50% EtOAc in hexanes to afford the title compound (0.58 g, 75%) as a pale yellow amorphous substance: 1H-NMR (CD3OD) δ: 7.65-7.3 (m, 9H), 6.5 (s, 1H), 5.31 (s, 2H), 2.42 (s, 3H), and 2.01 (s, 3H); ER-MS m/z=368 (MH+); HR-MS m/z calcd C21H19NO3Cl, 368.1060, found 368.1053.
