Sodium Carbonate → 7,8-Dibromo-2-methoxy-[1,5]naphthyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Phosphorus tribromide (140 mg, 0.53 mmol, 1.3 eq) is added at 0° C. to a stirred suspension of 3-bromo-6-methoxy-[1,5]naphthyridin-4-ol (100 mg, 0.39 mmol, 1.0 eq) in N,N-dimethylformamide (1 mL). After 2 hours stirring at room temperature, the reaction mixture is poured into saturated sodium carbonate aqueous solution (50 mL). The resulting suspension is filtered and the cake is washed with water and methanol to afford 7,8-dibromo-2-methoxy-[1,5]naphthyridine as a white solid (100 mg, 80% yield).
