Participants

Reaction Steps

Iodine (720 mg) was added to a solution of compound F (430 mg) and sodium hydroxide (120 mg) in water (15 ml) and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour. The precipitated solid was collected by filtration and purified by flash chromatography, eluting with methanol/dichloromethane (1:19 v/v), to give 2,6-diethyl-3-iodo-4(1H)-pyridone (G) (290 mg), m.p. 225°-227° C.; NMR (d6 -DMSO): 1.15(t, 6H), 2.5(q, 2H), 2.8(q, 2H), 5.9(s, 1H), 11.4(br s, 1H).
