Cesium carbonate → HCID 67509189, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(2-hydroxy-6-methylpyridin-4-yl)ethanone (82 mg, 0.542 mmol, Step-2), 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (86 microL, 0.60 mmol) and cesium carbonate (350 mg, 1.09 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) is stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours. The reaction mixture is poured into saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate (10 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (30 mL). The organic layer is washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate (10 mL×2) and dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with n-hexane/ethyl acetate (1:1) to give 44 mg (35% yield) of the title compound as a white solid.
