Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-7,8-dihydro-5H-[1,6]naphthyridine-6-carboxylic acid methyl ester (226.7 mg, 1 mmol) was dissolved in CCl4 (3.57 mL) and MeCN (0.357 mL) at room temperature before adding NaIO4 (0.643 g) in 1 mL of H2O, followed by RuCl3.hydrate (62.2 mg). The reaction mixture was stirred vigorously at room temperature for 2 hours. After dilution with DCM, it was filtered through Celite and the filter cake was washed three times with DCM. The combined organic solution was concentrated in vacuo to give a crude product. Flash column chromatography separation (silica gel, 12 g, 20% EtOAc in hexane) then afforded the tile compound (143 mg, 60%) as a white solid. MS: 241.1 (M+H+).
