1,1'-Biphenyl, mixt. with 1,1'-oxybis(benzene) → HCID 178467152, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a flask containing Dowtherm™ A (500 mL) at 250° C. was added ethyl 2-[(6-chloropyridin-3-ylamino)methylene]-3-oxobutanoate (10 g, 27 mmol) portion wise over 3 to 5 min and the reaction mixture was stirred for an additional 30 to 45 min. The reaction mixture was removed from the heat source, cooled to room temperature and diluted with hexanes to facilitate precipitation. The solids were filtered, washed with hexanes and dried under vacuum to afford the intermediate 1-(6-chloro-4-hydroxy-1,5-naphthyridin-3-yl)ethanone which was heated in neat phosphorus oxychloride with catalytic N,N-dimethylformamide for 4 h at 70° C. The reaction was cooled and poured slowly into a vigorously stirring mixture of ice-cold satd. aq. sodium bicarbonate and ethyl acetate. The layers were separated and the organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica, hexanes/ethyl acetate) to provide the desired product (3 g, 46% over two steps) as a brown solid: ESI MS m/z 241 [M+H]+.
