Methyl iodide → 6-bromo-N-(4-chlorobenzyl)-1,7-dimethyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro[1,8]naphthyridine-3-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-bromo-N-(4-chlorobenzyl)-4-hydroxy-7-methyl[1,8]naphthyridine-3-carboxamide (0.400 g, 0.98 mmol) and potassium carbonate (0.54 g, 3.92 mmol) in 5 mL DMF at room temperature is added dropwise methyl iodide (0.167 g, 1.18 mmol). The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 30 min then diluted with water. The resulting solid is filtered, washed with water and dried. The crude product is triturated with EtOAc/hexanes to yield 0.358 g (85%) of the desired product as a white solid. Physical characteristics are as follows: m.p. 266-268° C.; 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 10.18, 8.92, 8.83, 7.30, 4.65, 4.03, 2.82; Anal. Calcd for C18H15BrClN3O2: C, 51.39; H, 3.59; N, 9.99; Found: C, 51.02; H, 3.57; N, 9.94.
