Acetic Acid → 5-Bromo-6-ethoxy-1,7-naphthyridin-8-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 250 mL round bottom flask was added 6-ethoxy-1,7-naphthyridin-8-amine (0.65 g, 3.43 mmol), glacial acetic acid (20 mL), followed by the dropwise addition of bromine (0.60 g, 3.78 mmol) dissolved in carbontetrachloride (40 mL). After addition was complete, the mixture was stirred for 2 h then neutralized with saturated NaHCO3 and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The resultant residue was purified by silica gel to yield 5-bromo-6-ethoxy-1,7-naphthyridin-8-amine as a pale yellow solid (0.6 g, 2.24 mmol, 65%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ ppm 8.53 (d, J=3.95 Hz, 1H), 8.22 (d, J=8.79 Hz, 1H), 7.50 (dd, J=8.57, 4.17 Hz, 1H), 5.87 (br. s., 2H), 4.48 (q, J=7.03 Hz, 2H), 1.44 (t, J=7.03 Hz, 3H). LC/MS m/z 270 [M+H].
