Reaction Steps

Pyridone (1a) (10 g, 0.057 mol) in dichloromethane (200 mL) containing 2,6-lutidine (9.94 mL, 0.086 mol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (0.07 g, 0.0057 mol) was cooled in ice and treated with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (10.5 mL, 0.063 mol). After stirring for 2.5 hours the mixture was washed with saturated ammonium chloride solution, dried, evaporated and purified on silica gel (dichloromethane) to give a solid (13.2 g).
