Reaction Steps

A mixture of (R)-tert-butyl 2-(6-chloro-3-oxo-1-tosylpyrrolo[4,3,2-de][2,6]naphthyridin-4(1H,3H,5H)-yl)-3-methylbutanoate (650 mg, 1.25 mmol), EtOH (4 mL), and aqueous NaOH (1N, 2 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 40 min. The mixture was subsequently diluted with DCM and washed with brine. The organics were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by silica gel chromatography (5% MeOH/DCM) gave a yellow oil (425 mg), which was dissolved in 50% TFA/DCM. The solution was stirred at room temperature for 1 h, concentrated, and dried under vacuum to give the title compound as a yellow solid (360 mg, 93%). 1H NMR (500 MHz, CD3OD) δ 0.91 (d, J=7.0 Hz, 3H), 1.11 (d, J=7.0 Hz, 3H), 2.36-2.47 (m, 1H), 4.80-5.08 (m, 3H), 7.76 (s, 1H), 8.19 (s, 1H). [M+H] calc'd for C14H14ClN3O3, 308, 310; found, 308, 310.
