Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-nicotinic acid methyl ester (200 mg) (Example 1.1) in N,N-dimethylformamide (“DMF”) (2 ml) was added sodium ethoxide (21 μl) (21% by weight in ethanol) followed by ethyl-3-pyridyl-acetate (200 μl). The reaction mixture was heated in the microwave at 150° C. for 15 minutes. The mixture was quenched by addition of aqueous hydrochloric acid (2M) (0.72 ml) and then diluted with water. The precipitate was isolated by filtration and washed with water and finally triturated with diethyl ether to give 4-hydroxy-3-pyridin-3-yl-1H-[1,8]naphthyridin-2-one as a beige solid (109 mg). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO): 11.75 (bs, 1H), 8.70 (m, 1H), 8.52-8.53 (dd, 1H), 8.48-8.49 (dd, 1H), 8.35-8.37 (dd, 1H), 7.98 (d, 1H), 7.45-7.49 (dd, 1H), 7.23-7.26 (dd, 1H) ppm.
