Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of phosphoryl trichloride (5.17 ml, 56.5 mmol) and 1,6-naphthyridin-2(1H)-one (112) (1.65 g, 11.29 mmol, Alfa Aesar) was stirred at 70° C. for 16 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to RT and was poured onto 150 g of ice carefully. EtOAc (50 mL) was added and the mixture was treated carefully with about 30 mL of 5 M NaOH until the final pH is persistently >10. The mixture was vigorously mixed, then transferred into a separatory funnel. The EtOAc layer was then separated and dried and re-suspended in 30 mL of DCM, the insoluble solids were filtered off. The filtrate was loaded onto a silica gel pad and flushed with 30% EtOAc in hexanes to give a solid after drying. The solid was initially white but changed color to yellow after drying on the high vacuum line over night. Yield; 1.19 g, 64%. The material (113) was used directly in the next step without any further purification.
