Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 5-bromo-2-chloro-3-nitropyridine (3.79 g, 16 mmol), 1-(3-aminophenyl)pyrrolidin-2-one (2.56 g, 15 mmol) and potassium carbonate (2.0 g, 15 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (25 ml) was heated at reflux for 60 hours. The reaction was cooled, diluted with dichloromethane (200 ml) and extracted with water. The organic phase was then dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate, filtered and pre-adsorbed on to silica (25 g). Purification by column chromatography eluting with isohexane on a gradient of ethyl acetate (10%-40%) gave 1-[3-(5-bromo-3-nitropyridin-2-ylamino)phenyl]pyrrolidin-2-one as a red solid (3.7 g, 68%).
