Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-[5-(methoxycarbonyl)-3,4-dihydro-2,7-naphthyridin-2(1H)-yl]benzoic acid (63 mg, 0.20 mmol), triethylamine (0.056 mL, 0.40 mmol), and catalytic DMAP in 2.0 mL 1,2-dichloroethane at rt was added propylphosphonic anhydride solution (50 wt % in EtOAc, 0.143 mL, 0.24 mmol). After 10 min at rt, 3-isopropylaniline (0.042 mL, 0.30 mmol) was added and the reaction stirred at rt for 1 hour. The reaction was quenched into aqueous NaHCO3 solution, extracted with EtOAc, the EtOAc layer washed with H2O, dilute aqueous NaHCO3 solution, brine, dried with anhydrous Na2SO4 and rotary evaporated. This material was chromatographed eluting with CHCl3/EtOAc to give the title compound as a light yellow solid (59 mg, 68%). 1H NMR (Acetone-d6) δ: 9.39 (br. s., 1H), 8.89 (s, 1H), 8.66 (s, 1H), 7.72-7.74 (m, 1H), 7.66-7.71 (m, 2H), 7.35-7.44 (m, 2H), 7.25-7.30 (m, 2H), 7.00 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 4.60 (s, 2H), 3.91 (s, 3H), 3.66-3.71 (m, 2H), 3.37 (t, J=5.9 Hz, 2H), 2.91 (spt, J=6.9 Hz, 1H), 1.25 (d, J=7.0 Hz, 6H)
