Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-benzyl-2-chloro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,6-naphthyridine (98 mg, 0.38 mmol) and 1-chloroethyl chloroformate (0.05 mL, 0.46 mmol) in ClCH2CH2Cl (10 mL) is refluxed for 3 hr. The solvent is removed and the residue is dissolved in MeOH (10 mL) and the mixture is reflux for 30 min. Solvent is removed in vacuo and the residue is stirred with ether (10 mL) for 30 min at rt and filtered. The resulting light brown solid is used in the next step without further purification.
