Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution 5-[(3-chloro-4-fluoro-benzylidene)-amino]-pyridine-2-carbonitrile (3.7 g, 14.3 mmol) in MeCN (36 mL) were added isoprene (5.8 mL, 57.1 mol) and scandium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate (Sc(OTf)3) (1.4 g, 2.9 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 16 hours in sealed tube. The mixture was extracted with diethyl ether (80 mL) and washed with water (100 mL) and brine (100 mL) and then dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was purified by ISCO combi-flash chromatography (gradient elution, 0-20% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether) to afford 6-(3-chloro-4-fluoro-phenyl)-8-methyl-8-vinyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-[1,5]naphthyridine-2-carbonitrile (0.25 g, 5.5%) as white powder. MS (ESI+) [(M+H)+] 328.2.
