Sodium Iodide → (R)-8-chloro-3-(2-(3-fluoropyrrolidin-1-yl)ethoxy)-1,5-naphthyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 25 mL round bottom flask at rt was charged with (R)-3-fluoropyrrolidine hydrochloride (124 mg, 0.99 mmol). To this was added potassium carbonate (365 mg, 2.64 mmol), 3-(2-bromoethoxy)-8-chloro-1,5-naphthyridine (190 mg, 0.66 mmol), sodium iodide (149 mg, 0.99 mmol) and DMF (2 mL). Reaction mixture placed in oil bath preheated to 60° C. and allowed to stir for 16 hrs. Reaction mixture passed through celite cake, rinsed with 10% MeOH/DCM and filtrate concentrated to afford yellow oil. This was purified by ISCO silica gel chromatography (20-40% EtOAC/Hexanes) to afford (R)-8-chloro-3-(2-(3-fluoropyrrolidin-1-yl)ethoxy)-1,5-naphthyridine (105 mg, 54% yield). MS [M+H]=296.2. Calc'd for C14H15ClFN3O=295.7.
