Participants

Reaction Steps

According to Scheme 24 Step 3: A mixture of 1-(4-(hydroxymethyl)benzyl)-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)pyridin-2(1H)-one (1 eq, 0.25 mmol, 0.08 g), NaH (55%, 1.5 eq, 0.37 mmol, 18 mg) and iodomethane (3 eq, 0.75 mmol, 0.11 g) in DMF (2 mL) was stirred at room temperature overnight. The crude was diluted with AcOEt. The organic layer washed with water, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography over silica gel (AIT Flashsmart prepacked column 5 g SiO2, CH2Cl2/MeOH 99/1), yielding the title compound (0.14 mmol, 46 mg, 55%) as white solid.
