Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

According to Scheme 20: To a solution of 1-(4-chlorobenzyl)-5-(4-acetylphenyl)pyridin-2(1H)-one (1 eq, 0.20 mmol, 80 mg) in THF (5 mL) at −50° C. was added a solution of methyl magnesium bromide (3M, 1.3 eq, 0.30 mmol, 0.04 g) and the reaction stirred at −50° C. for 1 hour. The reaction was quenched at −78° C. with saturated aqueous NH4Cl. The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature and diluted with AcOEt and the organic phase extracted (×3). The combined organic fractions were dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography over silica gel (AIT Flashsmart prepacked column 25 g SiO2) using CH2Cl2/AcOEt 80/20 and was recrystallized from pentane/Et2O to afford 1-(4-chlorobenzyl)-5-(4-(2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)phenyl)pyridin-2(1H)-one (0.08 mmol, 30 mg, 36%) as a white solid.
