Source of material

The title compound was prepared according to the synthetic method reported previously [4]. The crude product was recrystallized from ethanol to afford colorless crystals.

Experimental details

The hydrogen atoms were assigned with isotropic displacement factors U iso(H) = 1.2 times U eq(C, aromatic ring), U iso(H) = 1.2 times U eq(CH2). The final refinement were furnished using geometrical restraints, with C–H = 0.93 Å (aromatic ring), C–H = 0.97 Å (CH2).

Comment

Both O-alkylation and N-alkylation of 2-pyridone are important making the resulting molecules to be different in their biological or pharmaceutical properties [5], [6], [7]. There are many kinds of methods for achieving the useful motif. Due to the behavior of proton shuttling and tautomer transformation in those enolizable 2-pyridones itself, often results in an ambident reactivity and these compounds are very sophisticated to handle [8]. Up to now, to set up a regio- or chemo-selective alkylation is a challenge, and the controllable and regioselective synthesis of the N-alkylation and O-alkylation are still intrigued task for many decades.

The asymmetric unit of the title structure contains one molecule (see the figure). All bond lengths and angles are in the expected ranges. The dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and the pyridine ring is 3.8 °C, indicating the slightly twisted molecular conformation.
