Methyl iodide → 5-Bromo-1,4-dimethyl-1,2-dihydropyridin-2-one

Temperature

0 °C

To a solution of 5-bromo-4-methylpyridin-2-ol (1.12 g, 6.0 mmol) in anhydrous THF (20 mL) was added NaH (288.0 mg, 12.0 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min. Then, methyl iodide (1.7 g, 12.0 mmol) was added and stirred at room temperature for 3 h. Saturated NH4Cl (100 mL) was added and the resulting mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (100 mL×3). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (100 mL), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (PE:EA=10:1 to 2:1) to give the title compound (1.0 g, 83.3%) as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 7.44 (s, 1H), 6.94 (s, 1H), 3.51 (s, 3H), 2.24 (s, 3H). LCMS (M+H)+ 202.
