Reaction Steps

3 g of 3-[1-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-1,8-naphthyridin-3-yl]-3-hydroxy-2-(3-pyridyl)propionitrile, prepared in Example 77, are suspended in 20 ml of dichloromethane. After the addition of 1.05 ml of trifluoroacetic acid (2 eq), a yellow solution is obtained which becomes bright yellow with a rise in temperature after the addition of 1.44 ml of trifluoroacetic anhydride (1.5 eq). This solution is stirred for one hour and water is then added; the organic phase is decanted, washed with a 10% solution of sodium bicarbonate and then water and dried over magnesium sulfate. After concentration under vacuum, the solid obtained is washed with ether and dried to give 2.6 g of 3-[1-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-1,8-naphthyridin-3-yl]-2-(3-pyridyl)prop-2-enenitrile in the form of a bright yellow solid melting at 261° C. Yield 91%.
