Procedure

A mixture of 3-bromo-5-chloro-1H-2-pyridone (930 mg, 4.46 mmol), potassium carbonate (1.25 g, 9.1 mmol) and iodomethane (2.8 mL, 45 mmol) in 10 mL of DME was heated to reflux for 18 hr. The mixture was filtered hot and concentrated. The residue was recrystallized from ethyl acetate to give 3-bromo-5-chloro-1-methyl-2-pyridone (740 mg, 74%), mp 162-163° C. HRMS (C6H5BrClNO): Obs. Mass 220.9249. Calcd. Mass 220.9243 (M+H).
