Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1-Biphenyl-2-ylmethyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-[1,5]naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (6) (850 mg, 2.4 mmol) in MeOH (8 mL) was added LiOH—H2O (100.2 mg, 4.8 mmol) and stirred at RT for 16 h. After completion of the reaction, distilled-off the solvent from the reaction and diluted with water. The aqueous part was acidified with 2 N HCl, extracted with EtOAC and organic layer was washed with brine. It was dried over Na2SO4, concentrated and the residue was purified by Prep-HPLC to get 1-Biphenyl-2-ylmethyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-[1,5]naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid (7) (88 mg, 11%) as off white solid.
