Water → Ethyl 1-benzyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.50 g (6.9 mmol) of ethyl 2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylate was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (30 mL), and 1.43 g (10.4 mmol) of potassium carbonate and 1.36 g (7.9 mmol) of benzyl bromide were added thereto. The resulting mixture was stirred for one whole day and night at room temperature. The reaction mixture was poured into water, and the mixture was extracted with diethyl ether. The organic phase was dried, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (ethyl acetate:n-hexane=3:7 to 1:1), and thus 1.95 g (yield: 92%) of the title compound was obtained as colorless crystals.
