Glycine → [(1-Benzyl-5-hydroxy-8-methyl-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-[1,7]naphthyridine-6-carbonyl)-amino]-acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-benzyl-5-hydroxy-8-methyl-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-[1,7]naphthyridine-6-carboxylic acid methyl ester (96 mg, 0.29 mmol), glycine (2.94 g, 39 mmol) and NaOMe solution (59 mL, 29 mmol, 0.5 M in MeOH) was refluxed for 16 h. After the mixture was cooled to r.t., solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in saturated NaHCO3 and washed with ether. The aqueous layer was acidified to pH about 3 with 4M HCl and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to give 100 mg of the title compound as an off-white solid. MS: (+) m/z 370.05 (M+1).
