N-Bromosuccinamide → 3-(benzyloxy)-1-(biphenyl-3-yl)-5-bromopyridin-4(1H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(benzyloxy)-1-(biphenyl-3-yl)pyridin-4(1H)-one (2.41 g, 6.8 mmol) in AcOH (68 mL) was added N-bromosuccinamide (2.67 g, 15 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature. After 1 h, the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by flash chromatography (80 g SiO2, 0-100% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to provide 3-(benzyloxy)-1-(biphenyl-3-yl)-5-bromopyridin-4(1H)-one. LC/MS (M+H)+ 432/434.
