Reaction Steps

NaH (60% dispersion, 20.0 mg, 0.514 mmol) was added to a cooled (0° C.) and stirred solution of 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-pyrrolidinone (0.06 mL, 0.514 mmol) in DMF. After 0.5 h, 2-anilino-7-chloro-1-phenyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1,8-naphthyridin-4(1H)-one (178 mg, 0.428 mmol) was added as a solid in a single portion and the mixture was heated to 130° C. for 48 h. After cooling to room temperature the mixture was quenched with saturated aqueous NH4Cl and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by preparative HPLC (10% CH3CN in water with 0.1% TFA to 95% CH3CN in water, 10 mL/min, 10 min) provided 2-anilino-7-[2-(2-oxo-1-pyrrolidinyl)ethoxy]-1-phenyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1,8-naphthyridin-4(1H)-one (0.047 g, 64%): LCMS RT: 2.40 min, MH+: 509.2. This transformation can be accomplished by using other aprotic solvents such as DMSO, THF and dioxane with temperatures appropriate for these solvents. Commercially available alkoxides can also be used in the absence of base.
