Reaction Steps

To a semi-suspension of 1-(3-bromophenyl)-5-[(4-methoxybenzyl)oxy]-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyridine-2-carbaldehyde (500 mg, 1.21 mmol) in THF (5 mL) at 0° C. was added (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane solution (5.3 mL of 0.5 mL solution in THF) followed by tetrabutylammonium fluoride solution (0.1 mL of a 1 M solution in THF). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h and then quenched by adding water. The quenched reaction mixture was then diluted with dichloromethane, washed with brine (1×), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by flash chromatography (24 g silica gel, linear gradient of 0 to 5% methanol in dichloromethane) afforded 1-(3-bromophenyl)-5-[(4-methoxybenzyl)oxy]-2-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-hydroxyethyl)pyridin-4(1H)-one.
