Regioselective synthesis of N-alkyl pyridones

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919908085926

The regioselective synthesis of N-alkyl pyridones can be facilitated by alkylation of 2-methoxypyridines with activated halides. The syntheses are facile and high yielding with no traces of 2-alkoxypyridines.
