Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

70 g (403 mmol) of 3-bromopyridin-2(1H)-one are dissolved in 1 l of anhydrous dimethyl sulphoxide, and 54 g (484 mmol) of potassium tert-butoxide are added at room temperature. The suspension is stirred at this temperature for 1 h. 69 g (403 mmol) of 1-fluoro-2-methoxy-4-nitrobenzene are added, and the reaction solution is heated at 80° C. for 20 h. Carefully, the mixture is diluted with 5 l of water. The precipitated solid is filtered off, washed with water and dried under reduced pressure. This gives 103 g (72% of theory) of the desired product.
