Acetic Acid → tert-Butyl 6-bromo-3,4-dihydro-1,8-naphthyridine-1(2H)-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,8-naphthyridine (1.37 g, 5.85 mmole) in CH2Cl2 (30 mL) was added glacial HOAc (3.4 mL, 58.5 mmole) and NBS (1.09 g, 6.14 mmole). After 72 hr the mixture was washed with 2.0 M NaOH, H2O, and brine. The mixture was dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (1.79 g, 98%) which was sufficiently pure for use in the next step: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 835 (s, 1H), 7.51 (s, 1H), 3.77 (m, 2H), 2.75 (t, J=6.5 Hz, 2H), 1.93 (m, 2H), 1.54 (s, 9H).
