N-Iodosuccinimide → 5-Iodo-2-methyl-1,7-naphthyridin-8(7H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Methyl-7H-[1,7]naphthyridin-8-one (10.0 g, 62.4 mmol) was suspended in 300 ml acetonitrile and N-iodosuccinimide (16.9 g, 74.9 mmol) was added. The suspension was stirred for 3 hours at reflux. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered. The solid was washed with acetonitrile and dried for 30 minutes at 50° C. and <20 mbar, to get the desired compound as a brown solid (14.3 g, 80%), MS: m/e=287.0 (M+H+).
