3-Bromo-4-fluorobenzaldehyde → methyl 4-(3-bromo-4-fluorophenyl)-2-methyl-5-oxo-4,5,6,8-tetrahydro-1H-pyrano[3,4-b]pyridine-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of tetrahydropyran-3,5-dione (Terasawa, J. Org. Chem. (1977), 42, 1163-1169) (1.4 g, 12 mmol), 3-bromo-4-fluorobenzaldehyde (3.0 g, 15 mmol), methyl 3-aminocrotonate (1.4 g, 12 mmol) and ethyl alcohol (10 mL) was processed as described in Example 2A. Purification by flash chromatography over silica gel (1% then 2% and then 5% methyl alcohol/methylene chloride) provided the title compound (2.4 g) as a solid.
