Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(5-bromo-2-methoxypyridin-3-yl)morpholine (1.0 equiv.) in 1,4-dioxane (0.3 M) was added concentrated HCl (5 equiv.) and the solution was heated to 100° C. for 1 h. Upon cooling to room temperature, the solution was concentrated to dryness under vacuo, then dissolved in water and neutralized with solid sodium bicarbonate. The precipitate was filtered, washed with water and dried under vacuo to give 5-bromo-3-morpholinopyridin-2(1H)-one as a beige solid in 93% yield. LCMS m/z (M+H)=258.9/260.9, Rt=0.48 min.
