Procedure

To a solution of 5-bromo-3-morpholinopyridin-2(1H)-one (1.0 equiv.) in DMF (0.2 M) was added potassium carbonate (2.0 equiv.), followed by iodomethane (1.0 equiv.). The solution was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The solution was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate, the organic phase was washed with brine, dried with sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude material was a mixture of N-methylated and O-methylated products (90:10). The material could be used for the next step without further purification as a mixture of isomers or it could be purified via silica gel column chromatography eluting with 0-100% ethyl acetate in heptanes to afford 5-bromo-1-methyl-3-morpholinopyridin-2(1H)-one in 71% yield LCMS (m/z) (M+H)=273/275, Rt=0.55 min and 4-(5-bromo-2-methoxypyridin-3-yl)morpholine in 10% yield. LCMS (m/z) (M+H)=273/275, Rt=0.82 min.
