6-(3-Chloro-4-fluoro-phenyl)-8-methyl-8-vinyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-[1,5]naphthyridine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester → 6-(3-Chloro-4-fluoro-phenyl)-8-ethyl-8-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-[1,5]naphthyridine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

The mixture solution of 6-(3-chloro-4-fluoro-phenyl)-8-methyl-8-vinyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-[1,5]naphthyridine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (360 mg, 1 mmol) and 10% palladium on active carbon (120 mg) in methanol (50 mL) was stirred at room temperature under hydrogen (14 psi) for 8 hours. The catalyst was filtered off and washed with ethyl acetate. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to afford 6-(3-chloro-4-fluoro-phenyl)-8-ethyl-8-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-[1,5]naphthyridine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (360 mg, quant.) as a yellow oil. MS (ESI+) [(M+H)+] 363.2.
