Reaction Steps

A mixture of N4-(2-methylpropyl)[1,5]naphthyridine-3,4-diamine (Gerster et al, U.S. Pat. No. 6,194,425, Example 30 Part A, 4.10 g, 19.0 mmol), 1,3-dimethoxycarbonyl-O-methylisourea (7.21 g, 37.9 mmol), acetic acid (5.69 g, 94.8 mmol), and p-toluenesulfonic acid (3.60 g, 19.0 mmol) in methanol (50 mL) was heated at reflux for 16 hours. The volatiles were removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was dissolved in chloroform (150 mL). The solution was washed sequentially with water (150 mL), aqueous sodium carbonate (150 mL of 4% w/w), water (150 mL), and brine (150 mL) and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by automated flash chromatography (40+M silica cartridge, eluting with 0% to 20% CMA in chloroform) followed by recrystallization from acetonitrile to provide 1.78 g of methyl [1-(2-methylpropyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-c][1,5]naphthyridin-2-yl]carbamate as a white solid, mp 195-197° C.
