Reaction Steps

(2R*,4S*)-4-{[3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]-(5-hydroxypyrimidin-2-yl)}amino-2-ethyl-6-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-[1,5]naphthyridine-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (150 mg) is dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (1 ml), then thereto are added pyrimidin-2-ylmethanol (41 mg) and triphenylphosphine (98 mg). After adding dropwise 40% diethyl azodicarboxylate-toluene solution (163 μl) under ice-cooling, the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Water is added to the reaction mixture and the mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer is washed with a saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue is purified by column chromatography (silica gel; hexane:ethyl acetate=2:1) to give (2R*,4S*)-4-{[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]-[5-(pyrimidin-2-ylmethoxy)pyrimidin-2-yl]}amino-2-ethyl-6-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-[1,5]naphthyridine-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (118 mg). MS (m/z): 692 [M+H]+
