Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-nitro-6-(trifluoromethyl)-2(1H)-pyridinone (2.4 g, 11.5 mmol) in DMF (69 mL) was added sodium hydride (350 mg, 13.8 mmol). The reaction was stirred for 30 min at 45° C., cooled to room temperature and N-phenyltrifluromethanesulfonimide (4.9 g, 13.8 mmol) was added. After 1 h, a 2 M solution of ethylamine in THF (13 mL, 25 mmol) was added. The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was poured into water (100 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organic layer was successively washed water and brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (hexane:EtOAc, 9:1) to give the desired compound (1.1 g, 41% yield) as a yellow oil.
