Abstract
In this study, a green methodology for the preparation of Pirfenidone is reported. In this regard, in the first step, the reaction for the preparation of 5-methylpyridin-2(1 H)-one from 2-amino-5-methylpyridine was performed under acidic reaction conditions via heteropolyacids in the presence of sodium nitrite. In the second step, the reaction was conducted under copper (I) catalysts including supported ionic liquids in the presence of iodobenzene and K2CO3. The advantages of this methodology is green and ecofriendly protocol, excellent yield, inexpensive chemicals, facile experimental and work-up procedure.
