Water → 4-(4-Chloro-2-fluoro-phenylamino)-6-(2-dimethylamino-ethoxy)-[1,7]naphthyridine-3-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 250 mg of 4-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-phenylamino)-6-fluoro-[1,7]naphthyridine-3-carbonitrile under an inert atmosphere was added 8 mL of 1 M sodium (2dimethylamino-ethoxide) in tetrahydrofuran. After refluxing for 2 hours, the reaction was stripped of tetrahydrofuran and water was added. The product was filtered, washed with water, dried, and recrystallized from chloroform/ether/hexanes to give 204 mg (64%) of 4-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-phenylamino)-6-(2-dimethylamino-ethoxy)-[1,7]naphthyridine-3-carbonitrile as a yellow solid: melting point 150-152° C.; mass spectrum (m/e): M+H 385.9.
