N4-(3-isopropoxypropyl)-3-nitro[1,5]naphthyridin-4-amine → N4-(3-isopropoxypropyl)[1,5]naphthyridine-3,4-diamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

N4-(3-Isopropoxypropyl)-3-nitro[1,5]naphthyridin-4-amine (4.2 g, 14.5 mmol), platinum on carbon (1.1 g of 5%), and ethyl acetate (100 mL) were placed in a hydrogenation flask. The mixture was shaken under a hydrogen pressure of 50 psi (3.5 Kg/cm2) for 2.5 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered and the catalyst was washed with ethyl acetate. The filtrate was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and then concentrated under vacuum to provide 3.6 g of N4-(3-isopropoxypropyl)[1,5]naphthyridine-3,4-diamine as a bright yellow oil. 1H NMR (300 MHz CDCl3): δ 8.70 (dd, J=4.1, 1.6 Hz, 1H), 8.39 (s, 1H), 8.17 (dd, J=8.4, 1.6 Hz, 1H), 7.37 (dd, J=8.4, 4.1 Hz, 1H), 5.99 (broad s, 1H), 3.98 (broad s, 2H), 3.63-3.55 (m, 5H), 1.87 (pentet, J=6.2 Hz, 2H), 1.17 (d, J=6.1 Hz, 6H); MS (EI): m/e 260.1630 (260.1637 calc'd for C14H20N4O).
