Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Benzylamine (67 mg, 0.63 mmol, 2.0 eq) is added at room temperature to a stirred solution of 7,8-dibromo-2-methoxy-[1,5]naphthyridine (100 mg, 0.31 mmol, 1.0 eq) in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL), followed by potassium carbonate (87 mg, 0.63 mmol, 2.0 eq). After 2 hours stirring at 120° C., solvent is removed and the residue is extracted with ethyl acetate (3×10 mL) and water (10 mL). The combined organic layers are dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give the crude product that is purified by column chromatography (silica gel, eluent: petroleum ether:ethyl acetate, 5:1, v/v) to afford benzyl-(3-bromo-6-methoxy-[1,5]naphthyridin-4-yl)-amine as a light yellow solid (50 mg, 46% yield).
