Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl 4-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-formyl-2-isopropyl-8,8-dimethyl-7,8-dihydro-1,6-naphthyridine-6(5H)-carboxylate (intermediate 1) (4.28 g, 9.09 mmol), trimethylsilyl cyanide (1.46 ml, 10.91 mmol) and zinc iodide (0.145 g, 0.455 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (5 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 2.5 h. MeOH (100 mL) was added and the reaction stirred 22 h at room temperature. Additional trimethylsilyl cyanide (2 mL) was added and stirring continued at room temperature for 24 h. 1M HCl (10 mL) was added and stirring continued for 24 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated and the residue taken up in Et2O (200 mL), washed with satd NaHCO3 (50 mL), water (25 mL), brine (25 mL), dried (Na2SO4), filtered and solvent removed to give 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl 3-(cyano(hydroxy)methyl)-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-isopropyl-8,8-dimethyl-7,8-dihydro-1,6-naphthyridine-6(5H)-carboxylate (4.16 g) as a tan powder contaminated with about 20% of starting material. This was used in the next step without further purification.
