1-(Bromomethyl)-4-chlorobenzene → 5-Bromo-1-[(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]-1,2-dihydropyridin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

According to Scheme 1 Step 2: The title compound was prepared from 5-bromopyridin-2(1H)-one (1 eq, 29.0 mmol, 5.00 g, Example 1 Step 1) and 4-chlorobenzyl bromide (1.2 eq, 34.0 mmol, 7.10 g) according to the procedure described for Example 1 Step 2. After concentration of the solvent, water was added. The aqueous phase was extracted with AcOEt and the combined organic fractions were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was recrystallized with pentane/Et2O 50/50 to afford 1-(4-chlorobenzyl)-5-bromopyridin-2(1H)-one (26.2 mmol, 7.82 g, 91%) as a white solid.
