3-Chloro-1-methylbenzo[f][1,7]naphthyridin-5-amine → 1-Methylbenzo[f][1,7]naphthyridin-5-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-chloro-1-methylbenzo[f][1,7]naphthyridin-5-amine (from step 3) in ethyl acetate/methanol (1:2, 0.03 M) was added 10% wt palladium on carbon (0.2 eq.). The reaction vessel was shaken on a hydrogen Pan apparatus under 50 psi of hydrogen overnight. The mixture was filtered through a pad of celite, washing with dichloromethane. The filtrate was concentrated en vacuo and purified by a COMBIFLASH® system (ISCO) using 0-80% ethyl acetate in hexane to give 1-methylbenzo[f][1,7]naphthyridin-5-amine as a white solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 8.63 (d, 1H), 8.44 (d, 1H), 7.71 (dd, 1H), 7.54 (m, 1H), 7.45 (d, 1H), 7.30 (m, 1H), 6.20 (bs, 2H), 3.01 (s, 3H). LRMS [M+H]=210.1.
