Reaction Steps

2.00 g (6.8 mmol) of ethyl 2-oxo-1-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylate was dissolved in 1,4-dioxane (100 mL), and 1.41 g (10.2 mmol) of potassium carbonate and 200 mL of water were added thereto at room temperature. The resulting mixture was stirred for 3 hours at 50° C. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure from the reaction mixture, and the residue was dissolved in water. Concentrated hydrochloric acid was added thereto to make the solution acidic. A solid precipitated therefrom was separated by filtration, and was dried. Thus, 1.72 g of the title compound was obtained as pale yellow crystals (yield: 95%).
