Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of methyl 3-aminonicotinate (2.0 g, 13.14 mmol) and methyl propionate (30.9 mL, 329 mmol) in THF (30 mL) was added sodium tert-butoxide (3.16 g, 32.9 mmol) portionwise over 1 min. The reaction was stirred at rt for 40 min and at 100° C. for 4 h. After this time the reaction was cooled to rt and evaporated in vacuo. The resulting solid was dissolved in water (20 mL) and neutralized to pH 7 with 1.0M aqueous HCl. The resulting precipitate was filtered and dried under vacuum overnight to give 3-methyl-1,7-naphthyridine-2,4-diol. Mass Spectrum (ESI) m/e=177.2 (M+1).
