Diethyl Malonate → Ethyl 6-bromo-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-amino-5-bromo-pyridine-3-carbaldehyde (4.00 g, 14.2 mmol), diethyl malonate (21.6 mL, 142 mmol) and piperidine (7.00 mL, 71.0 mmol) in EtOH (70 mL) was heated to reflux overnight. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and the solid was collected by filtration to give the title compound (2.41 g, 57%) as an off-white solid: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 12.65 (s, 1H), 8.70 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 8.56 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 8.45 (s, 1H), 4.29 (q, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 1.30 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 3H).
