5-Aminobenzo[f][1,7]naphthyridine-8-carbaldehyde → 1-(5-Aminobenzo[f][1,7]naphthyridin-8-yl)ethanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-aminobenzo[f][1,7]naphthyridine-8-carbaldehyde (from Example 87) (1.0 eq.) in THF (0.02M) was added MeLi (2.5 eq.) at −78° C. The reaction was allowed to warm to ambient temperature overnight. The reaction was quenched by saturated NH4Cl and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated en vaccuo to obtain a crude residue. The crude material was purified by flash chromatography on a COMBIFLASH® system (ISCO) using 0-5% MeOH/DCM to give 1-(5-aminobenzo[f][1,7]naphthyridin-8-yl)ethanol as a yellow solid: 1H NMR (methanol-d4): δ 8.94 (dd, 1H), 8.88 (dd, 1H), 8.38 (d, 1H), 7.81 (dd, 1H), 7.62 (d, 1H), 7.41 (dd, 1H), 4.97 (q, 1H), 1.53 (d, 3H). LRMS [M+H]=240.1.
