Reaction Steps

To 2-anilino-7-chloro-6-fluoro-1-phenyl-1,8-naphthyridin-4(1H)-one (100 mg, 0.273 mmol) in THF (5 mL) was added Pd(PPh3)4 (13 mg, 0.001 mmol) and methyl zinc chloride (2M, 0.819 mL, 1.64 mmol) and the reaction was heated to 75° C. for 18 h. The reaction was then cooled to room temperature and poured into a solution of EDTA in water (2.5 g/20 mL) and extracted with Et2O. The organic layer was washed with brine and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was then taken up in MeOH and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give 2-anilino-6-fluoro-7-methyl-1-phenyl-1,8-naphthyridin-4(1H)-one (83.0 mg, 89%): LCMS RT: 2.43 min, MH+: 346.4.
