2-Bromoethyl methyl ether → 8-chloro-6-(2-methoxyethyl)benzo[c][2,7]naphthyridin-5(6H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 8-chlorobenzo[c][2,7]naphthyridin-5(6H)-one (0.150 g, 0.650 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (2 mL) at 0° C. was added 2-bromoethyl methyl ether (0.090 g, 0.650 mmol) under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to RT and stirred for 12 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (10 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×20 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 8-chloro-6-(2-methoxyethyl)benzo[c][2,7]naphthyridin-5(6H)-one (150 mg, 0.520 mmol, 80% yield). LC/MS (ESI) m/e 289.1 [(M+H)+, calcd for C15H13ClN2O2 289.1]; LC/MS retention time (method A): tR=1.65 min.
