Lawesson's reagent → Tert-butyl(1-(4-(3-phenyl-5-thioxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,6-naphthyridin-2-yl)phenyl)cyclobutyl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl(1-(4-(5-oxo-3-phenyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,6-naphthyridin-2-yl)phenyl)cyclobutyl)carbamate (223 mg, 0.47 mmol) in toluene (15 mL) was added lawesson's reagent (192 mg, 0.47 mmol) under nitrogen. The resulting mixture was heated under reflux for 2 h. After cooled down to room temperature, the mixture was concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by Biotage silica gel chromatography (gradient 0 to 1% MeOH in dichloromethane) to give the title compound as a yellow solid (231 mg, quantitative). 1H NMR (500 MHz, MeOD): 8.76 (1H, s), 7.37-7.33 (4H, m), 7.31-7.28 (3H, m), 7.22-7.20 (2H, m), 3.69 (2H, t), 3.25 (2H, t), 2.49-2.39 (4H, m), 2.15-2.05 (1H, m), 1.91-1.80 (1H, m), 1.45-1.15 (9H, br).
