Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2-Amino-5-bromonicotinaldehyde (0.50 g, 2.49 mmol) and N-(4-tert-butylbenzyl)-3-oxobutanamide (0.62 g, 2.49 mmol) were suspended in piperidine (1.0 ml) and EtOH (1.0 ml) in a high-pressure vial. The mixture was heated at 120° C. for 4.5 hours and then cooled to room temperature. The reaction was diluted with water (40 ml) and extracted with CH2Cl2 (3*30 ml). Combined organics were washed with water (30 ml), dried over MgSO4 and evaporated. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography using CH2Cl2/CH3OH (20:1) as eluent to give 0.56 g (54%) of 6-bromo-N-(4-tert-butylbenzyl)-2-methyl-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxamide as yellow solids.
