Acetic Acid → 2-(4,6-Dichloro-1,5-naphthyridin-3-yl)-2-oxoethyl acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of acetic acid (0.32 mL, 5.5 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.87 mL, 5.0 mmol) in acetone (20 mL) was added 2-chloro-1-(4,6-dichloro-1,5-naphthyridin-3-yl)ethanone (0.26 g, 0.96 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with satd. aq. sodium bicarbonate and extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica, dichloromethane/ethyl acetate) to afford the desired product (0.12 g, 42%) as a white solid. ESI MS m/z 299 [M+H]+.
