1,8-Naphthyridine, 2-methyl- → 7-Methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,8-naphthyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

The compound was prepared according to the procedure as described in WO 0033838. To a solution of 2-methyl-1,8-naphthyridine (2 g, 13.9 mmol) in ethanol (35 ml) was added 10% Pd/C, and the reaction mixture was stirred under H2 (10 psi) for 24 hours. Palladium was filtered out through celite and washed with excess ethanol. The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum to give 1.7 g (83%) pink solid. NMR (CD3OD) δ 1.82-1.87 (m, 2H), 2.22 (s, 3H), 2.65-2.76 (m, 2H), 3.33-3.36 (m, 2H), 6.32 (d, 1H, J=7.25 Hz), 7.07 (d, 1H, J=7.38 Hz). Mass spectrometry: 149.15 (M+H)+.
