Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of piperazine (5.5 g, 64 mmol) in t-butanol (50 mL) was treated with potassium t-butoxide (0.9 g, 8 mmol) in one portion. After stirring for 10 minutes at 40° C. a solution of 1-chloro-2,7-naphthyridine (1.2 g, 7.3 mmol) in 10 mL of t-butanol was added. Stirring was continued overnight at 40° C. after which the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel 60 Merck, methylene chloride-methanol-ammonia 9:1:0.125) to give the product (1.0 g, 64%) as a yellow solid.
