Reaction Steps

A round bottom flask was charged with (E)-5-((5,6-dimethoxypyridin-3-ylimino)methyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione (450 mg, 1460 μmol) and 4.2 mL diphenyl ether. A reflux condenser was attached, and the solution was heated at 200° C. for 0.5 h. Upon cooling, hexane was added and the solids were filtered and washed with hexane. 6,7-dimethoxy-1,5-naphthyridin-4(1H)-one was isolated as a tan solid. MS [M+H]=207
