Chlorosuccinimide → 3-Chloro-4-(2,4-difluorobenzyloxy)-1H-pyridin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-[(4-fluorobenzyl)oxy]pyridine-2(1H)-one (from Step 2, Example 74) (1.4 g, 5.9 mmol) in AcOH (25 mL) was added N-chlorosuccinimide (0.95 g, 7.1 mmol) and the reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 2 h. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure. 1H NMR (300 MHz, MeOD) δ 7.63-7.55 (m, 1H), 7.45 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 7.07-7.00 (m, 2H), 6.58 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 5.31 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H).
