Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of the pyridine derivative (16, 4.00 g, 15.6 m mol), 1-bromo-2-butanone (3.53 g, 23.4 m mol) and sodium hydrogencarbonate (6.55 g, 78 m mol) in methylethylketone (30 ml) was heated under reflux for 60 hours. The solid was filtered off. The volatile materials were removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel eluting with hexane:ethyl acetate (1:2) and with ethyl acetate. The first fraction was crystallized from benzene:hexane to give 2.32 g (48.2% yield) of the titled compound 17b and, mp, 117-119° C.
