Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-chloro-2,6-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid (360 mg, 1.8 mmol), tert-butyl alcohol (3.4 mL), N,N-diisopropylethylamine (1 mL, 5.6 mmol), and diphenylphosphonic azide (1.0 mL, 4.5 mmol) in toluene (6 mL) was heated at 110° C. for 1 hour. The cooled reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (50 mL) and washed with water (50 mL). The organic layer was separated, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated in vacuo to afford a residue that was purified by flash chromatography (silica, 12 g, ISCO, 0-60% ethyl acetate in heptane) to afford the title compound as a pale yellow solid (410 mg, 83%), which was used in the next step without further purification.
