Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 2-(4-chlorobutyl)-6-(3-chloro-4-fluorobenzyl)-4-hydroxy-3,5-dioxo-2,3,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-2,6-naphthyridine-1-carboxylate (0.10 g, 0.21 mmol), methylamine in tetrahydrofuran (1 mL, 2M), and tetra-n-butylammonium iodide in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) was heated at 60° C. for 3 days. The reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum. The residue was partitioned between dichloromethane and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The organic extract was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under vacuum to provide the title compound. This was used in the following step without further purification. ES MS M+1=466
