Beta-Alanine → 3-[(1-Benzyl-5-hydroxy-2-oxo-3-phenyl-8-pyridin-3-yl-1,2-dihydro-[1,7]naphthyridine-6-carbonyl)-amino]-propionic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-benzyl-5-hydroxy-2-oxo-3-phenyl-8-pyridin-3-yl-1,2-dihydro-[1,7]naphthyridine-6-carboxylic acid methyl ester (35 mg, 0.076 mmol), β-alanine (896 mg, 10.1 mmol) and NaOMe solution (15 mL, 7.6 mmol, 0.5 M in MeOH) was refluxed for 16 h. After the mixture was cooled to r.t., the solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in water and washed several times with ether. The aqueous layer was acidified to pH about 3 with 4 M HCl, and the resulting precipitate was collected by filtration and dried to give 29 mg of the title compound as a pale yellow solid. MS: (+) m/z 521.34 (M+1).
