Participants

Reaction Steps

0.51 g (1.4 mmol) of 3-oxo-1-cyclohexenyl 1-methyl-2-oxo-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2-dihydro-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylate was dissolved in acetonitrile (50 mL), and 0.15 g (1.5 mmol) of triethylamine and 0.14 g (1.6 mmol) of acetone cyanohydrin were added to the above solution. The resulting mixture was stirred for one whole day and night at room temperature. The reaction mixture was poured into a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate, and the mixture was washed with ethyl acetate. Citric acid was added to the aqueous phase to adjust the aqueous phase to pH 3 to 4, and the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with water, dried, and concentrated, and the residue was washed with diisopropyl ether. Thus, 0.17 g (yield: 33%) of the title compound was obtained as light brown crystals.
