28 g of 2,4-dichlorobenzyl 3-pyridyl ketone are dissolved in 800 ml of dimethylformamide and treated portionwise at 0° C. with 5.5 g of sodium hydride (50% dispersion in oil). After 2 hours at room temperature 14.9 g of methyl iodide are added and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for a further 3 hours. The mixture is then poured into water and extracted with diethyl ether. The organic phase is washed, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and subsequently concentrated. By chromatography on silica gel with n-hexane/ethyl acetate (1:2) there is obtained 2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-propanone as an oil.
