The selective <i>O</i>-benzylation of 2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridines plays a critical role in organic synthesis of natural products and biological active molecules. Herein we report a novel ternary system of ZnO, ZnCl₂ and <i>N</i>,<i>N</i>-diisopropylethylamine (DIEA), that is highly effective for selective <i>O</i>-benzylation of 2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridines using abundant substituted benzyl halides and related substituted 2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridines compounds. This process allows access to a variety ...[more]
