1,1,1-Trimethoxybutane → 4-[(2-propyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c][1,5]naphthyridin-1-yl)methyl]tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trimethylorthobutyrate (1.9 mL, 12.0 mmol) and pyridine hydrochloride (23 mg, 0.2 mmol) were added to a suspension of 4-[(3-amino[1,5]naphthyridin-4-ylamino)methyl]tetrahydropyran-4-ol (10.0 mmol) in toluene (50 mL). The reaction mixture was heated at reflux overnight and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was triturated with acetonitrile and the resulting solid was isolated by filtration to provide 2.26 g of 4-[(2-propyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c][1,5]naphthyridin-1-yl)methyl]tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-ol as a tan solid.
