Benzyl Bromide → HCID 58368201, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylate (2.00 g, 13.1 mmol) in 45 mL of benzene was added benzyl bromide (1.86 mL, 15.7 mmol) and silver carbonate (3.96 g, 14.4 mmol). The flask was covered with aluminum foil, and after 85 hr, the mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, filtered through celite, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified via silica gel chromatography, eluting with 0-20% ethyl acetate in hexanes to provide methyl 6-(benzyloxy)pyridine-3-carboxylate.
