Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

48% hydrobromic acid (7 mL) was added to a solution of [3-chloro-4-(methylsulfanyl)phenyl](6-methoxy-5-methylpyridin-2-yl)methanone obtained in Reference Example 1-40 (700 mg) in acetonitrile (7 mL) at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred at 95° C. for one hour. The reaction solution was neutralized with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate at room temperature and extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered. The solvent was then evaporated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform:methanol=50:1) to give 6-[3-chloro-4-(methylsulfanyl)benzoyl]-3-methylpyridin-2(1H)-one as a pale yellow solid (632 mg, 95%).
