Hydrochloric Acid → Methyl 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,7-naphthyridine-3-carboxylate--hydrogen chloride (1/1)

Participants

Reaction Steps

A round-bottom flask containing 7-tert-butyl 3-methyl 5,6-dihydro-1,7-naphthyridine-3,7-(8H)-dicarboxylate (0.470 g, 1.61 mmol) and hydrochloric acid (6.03 mL, 24.1 mmol, 4.0 M in 1,4-dioxane) was stirred at rt for 1 h. The solution was then completely evaporated to yield methyl 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,7-naphthyridine-3-carboxylate hydrochloride (0.440 g, 100%). LC-MS: (FA) ES+ 193; 1H NMR (Methanol-d4, 400 MHz) δ9.26 (s, 1H), 8.87 (s, 1H), 4.83 (s, 2H), 4.03 (s, 3H), 3.69 (m, 2H), 3.43 (t, J=5.5 Hz, 2H).
