Reaction Steps

Into a 3 l 4-necked round-bottom flask was placed 7-(dimethoxymethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,8-naphthyridine (intermediate 4, 114.6 g, 550.3 mmol) in acetonitrile (2 l). This was followed by the addition of NBS (103 g, 578 mol) in portions with stirring at 25° C. The resulting solution was stirred for 30 min at 25° C. The resulting mixture was concentrated under vacuum and the residue was diluted with 1000 ml of diethylether. The mixture was washed with 3×100 ml of ice/water. The aqueous phase was extracted with 2×100 ml of diethylether and the organic layers were combined. The resulting mixture was washed with 1×100 ml of brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum to give the title compound as a light yellow solid. LC-MS: (ES, m/z):
