Triethylamine → 7-[3-(Acetylamino)-1-pyrrolidinyl]-1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture containing 7-chloro-1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid (2.7 g), triethylamine (1.01 g), 3-acetylaminopyrrolidine (2.56 g), and acetonitrile (100 ml) was heated under reflux for 2 hours. The mixture was concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue was mixed with water, neutralized with acetic acid, and cooled. The precipitate was collected, washed successively with water and ethanol, and dried to give 3.2 g of 7-(3-acetylamino-1-pyrrolidinyl)-1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid, m.p. 283°-284° C., on recrystallization from dimethylformamide-ethanol.
