Reaction Steps

Phosphorus oxychloride (4 mL, 43 mmol) was reacted with N,N-dimethylformamide (15 mL) while chilling in an ice bath. This mixture was added to a solution of 3-nitro[1,5]naphthyridin-4-ol (6.9 g, 36.1 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (60 mL). The reaction mixture was warmed in an oil bath to 60° C. After 3 hours the reaction mixture was poured into ice water. The resulting precipitate was isolated by filtration and then washed with water. The wet crude 5-chloro-3-nitro[1,5]naphthyridine was suspended in dichloromethane (150 mL). Diisopropylethylamine was added followed by the slow addition of hydroxyisobutylamine (3.4 g, 40 mmol). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 2 hours and then combined with water (˜100 mL). The resulting precipitate was isolated by filtration to provide 7.2 g of 1,1-dimethyl-2-[(3-nitro[1,5]naphthyridin-4-yl)amino]ethanol. A small sample was recrystallized from isopropanol to provide a pure sample, m.p. 184.5-186° C. Analysis: Calculated for C12H14N4O3: %C, 54.96; %H, 5.38; %N, 21.36. Found: %C, 54.63; %H, 5.36: %N, 21.51.
