Procedure
A solution of 5-bromo-3-nitro-pyridin-2-ol (5.0 g, 22.8 mmol) and K2CO3 (9.5 g, 3 equiv., 69 mmol) in DMF (25 mL) was treated with benzyl bromide (4.3 g, 1.1 equiv., 25 mmol) and heated to 50° C. After stirring overnight, the solution was poured into water (150 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×150 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with sat'd aq NaCl, dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by flash column chromatography (30-40% ethyl acetate in heptane) afforded 1-benzyl-5-bromo-3-nitro-1H-pyridin-2-one as a yellow solid (5.56 g, 79%).
