Sodium Bicarbonate → 1-(2-(4-(((5-fluoro-6-methoxypyridin-3-yl)methyl)amino)piperidin-1-yl)ethyl)-7-methoxy-1,5-naphthyridin-2(1H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 0.20 g of 1-(2-(4-aminopiperidin-1-yl)ethyl)-7-methoxy-1,5-naphthyridin-2(1H)-one hydrochloride in 2 mL of methanol, 0.28 g of a 28% sodium methoxide/methanol solution and 28 μL of acetic acid were added. Thereto was added 75 mg of 5-fluoro-6-methoxynicotinaldehyde, then, 61 mg of sodium cyanoborohydride was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour 20 minutes. Thereto was further added 62 mg of sodium cyanoborohydride, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour 30 minutes, and then stirred at 30 to 35° C. for 1 hour. To the reaction mixture, chloroform and a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution were added. The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with chloroform. The organic layer and the extract were combined, the resultant solution was washed with water and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The resultant residue was purified by basic silica gel column chromatography using gradient elution with chloroform:methanol=19:1 to 9:1, diethyl ether was added to the resultant light yellow oily substance, and the solid was filtered off to obtain 97 mg of 1-(2-(4-(((5-fluoro-6-methoxypyridin-3-yl)methyl)amino)piperidin-1-yl)ethyl)-7-methoxy-1,5-naphthyridin-2(1H)-one as a slightly yellow solid.
