Reaction Steps

A mixture of commercially available 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2,7-naphthyridine dihydrochloride (207 mg, 1.0 mmol), 5-fluoro-2-nitrotoluene (0.244 mL, 2.0 mmol), and Na2CO3 (0.53 g, 5.0 mmol) in 3.0 mL NMP was heated at 110° C. for 2.5 hours. The solids were filtered off and then rinsed with EtOAc. The EtOAc portion was washed with a H2O/brine mixture, H2O, brine, dried with anhydrous Na2SO4, and evaporated to an oil. The oil was chromatographed eluting with CHCl3/EtOAc and the resulting solid triturated with EtOAc/hexane to give the title compound as a yellow solid (123 mg, 45%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ: 8.48 (s, 1H), 8.44 (d, J=5.3 Hz, 1H), 8.14 (d, J=9.1 Hz, 1H), 7.15 (d, J=5.0 Hz, 1H), 6.76 (dd, J=9.2, 2.8 Hz, 1H), 6.68 (d, J=2.9 Hz, 1H), 4.58 (s, 2H), 3.71 (t, J=5.9 Hz, 2H), 3.01 (t, J=5.9 Hz, 2H), 2.68 (s, 3H)
