Bromine → 3-bromo-4-(2,4-difluorobenzyloxy)-1H-pyridin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To an ice-cold solution of 4-(2,4-difluorobenzyloxy)-1H-pyridin-2-one (0.75 g, 3.1 mmol) in AcOH (12 mL) was added a solution of bromine (0.2 mL, 3.5 mmol) in AcOH (6 mL), and the reaction mixture was stirred 10 min. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to afford 3-bromo-4-(2,4-difluorobenzyloxy)-1H-pyridin-2-one as a white solid (1.0 g, 100%): ESI MS m/z 299 [M+H]+.
