Reaction Steps

A mixture of 9-(3-chloro-4-fluorobenzyl)-7-hydroxy-3,4,10,11-tetrahydro-2-H-pyrazino[2,1-a]-2,6-naphthyridine-1,6,8(9H)-trione (53 mg, 0.14 mmol; Example 5), and sodium hydride (12.3 mg; 60% dispersion in oil) in DMF (2 mL) was stirred at 0° C. for 20 minutes. To the resultant solution, methyl iodide (96 mg, 0.68 mmoH was added and the reaction mixture was heated at 40° C. for four hours. The reaction mixture was quenched with methanol and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography. Collection and lyophilization of appropriate fractions provided the title compound.
