Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 5-(2,4-difluorobenzyl)-3-iodopyridin-2(1H)-one 4 (5.58 g, 16.1 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (160 ml) was added at room temperature NaH (60% suspension in mineral oil, 0.71 g, 17.7 mmol). After the mixture was stirred for 15 min, o-fluorobenzyl bromide (2 ml, 16.1 mmol) was added to the mixture, which was stirred for 2 h at RT. The solvent was distilled off and the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (200 ml), washed with water (200 ml), brine (200 ml), and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent was distilled off. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (hexanes:ethyl acetate, 80:20). Yield 6.61 g (90%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz): δ 7.80 (d, 1H, J=2.2 Hz), 7.55-7.51 (m, 1H), 7.32-7.27 (m, 2H), 7.13-7.04 (m, 3H), 6.86-6.79 (m, 2H), 5.14 (s, 2H), 3.64 (s, 2H). 13C NMR (CDCl3, 125 MHz): δ 162.4, 162.1, 160.5, 160.2, 159.1, 149.8, 136.5, 132.1, 131.1, 130.3, 124.6, 122.5, 121.9, 118.6, 115.4, 111.5, 104.2, 93.5, 48.5, 30.0.
