To a solution of 4-(2-(5-amino-8-methylbenzo[f][1,7]naphthyridin-2-yl)ethyl)phenol (from Example 170) (1.0 equiv.) in dimethylformamide (0.10 M) was added anhydrous potassium carbonate (1.5 equiv.) followed by methallyl bromide (1.2 equiv.). The resulting mixture was allowed to stir for 18 hours at 100° C. After cooling to ambient temperature, the mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and water. The biphasic layers were separated and the aqueous layer was washed twice with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and the volatiles were removed in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified by a COMBIFLASH® system (ISCO) using 0-60% ethyl acetate in hexanes to provide 8-methyl-2-(4-(2-methylallyloxy)phenethyl)benzo[f][1,7]naphthyridin-5-amine as a solid. 1H NMR (Acetone-d6): δ 8.75 (s, 1H), 8.68 (s, 1H), 8.27 (d, 1H), 7.41 (s, 1H), 7.12-7.19 (m, 3H), 6.87 (d, 2H), 6.60 (br, 2H), 5.06 (s, 1H), 4.93 (s, 1H), 4.43 (s, 2H), 3.20 (t, 2H), 3.05 (t, 2H), 2.45 (s, 3H), 1.79 (s, 3H).
