4-(Bromomethyl)-1-chloro-2-fluorobenzene → 5-(3-methoxyphenethyl)-1-(4-chloro-3-fluorobenzyl)pyridin-2(1H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

According to Scheme 8 Step 3: The title compound was prepared from 2-methoxy-5-(2-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethyl)pyridine (1 eq, 0.25 mmol, 0.06 g) and 4-chloro-3-fluorobenzylbromide (2 eq, 0.49 mmol, 0.11 g) according to the procedure described for Example 6 Step 2. Reaction conditions: 12 hours at 100° C. The resulting dark brown oil was purified by flash chromatography (AIT Flashsmart prepacked column 25 g SiO2, CH2Cl2/MeOH 98/2) to afford 5-(3-methoxyphenethyl)-1-(4-chloro-3-fluorobenzyl)pyridin-2(1H)-one (0.14 mmol, 55.0 mg, 60%) as a yellow oil.
