Reaction Steps

To solution of 5-bromopyridin-2(1H)-one (2.5 g, 14.37 mmol) and methyl 2-bromoacetate (2.418 g, 15.81 mmol) in DMSO (12 mL) was added K2CO3 (2.383 g, 17.24 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 4 hours, filtered, and purified via preparative HPLC, eluting with a gradient of 10-90% ACN (containing 0.035% TFA) in H2O (containing 0.05% TFA) to give the title compound.
