7H-Naphtho(1,2,3-ij)(2,7)naphthyridin-7-one → 4-Bromosampangine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of pyridinium bromide perbromide (390 mg, 1.2 mmol) and sampangine, (232 mg, 1.0 mmol) in chloroform (12 mL) was heated at reflux for 15 hours. Saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (100 mL) was added to the cooled reaction and the mixture stirred vigorously for 30 minutes. The two layers were separated and the aqueous phase extracted with chloroform (2×30 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over potassium carbonate and concentrated to dryness. The residual solid was applied to a 2×40 cm column of silica gel (Merck 230-400 mesh) and the pure product (200 mg, 64%) eluted with chloroform, mp 180° C. dec.
