4-Methylmorpholine → But-2-ynoic acid [5-(3-bromo-phenylamino)-6-cyano-[1,8]naphthyridin-3-yl]-amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.85 g (10.1 mmol) of tetrolic acid and 1.8 g (17.96 mmol) of N-methyl morpholine in 18 ml of tetrahydrofuran was stirred at 0° C. as 1.35 g (9.9 mmol) of isobutyl chloroformate was slowly added. After 15 min, this mixture was added to a solution of 1.3 g (3.8 mmol) of 6-amino-4-(3-bromo-phenylamino)-[1.8]naphthyridine-3-carbonitrile and 5 mg of 4-N,N-dimethylamino-pyridine in 10 ml pyridine. The mixture was stirred a room temperature for 2.25 hr. The tetrahydrofuran was removed, diluted sodium bicarbonate was added, and the solid was collected via filtration. The solid was air dried and chromatographed on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate-methanol mixtures giving 0.46 g of the title compound as a tan powder: mass spectrum (electrospray, m/e): M+H 408.1, 406.0.
