Participants

Reaction Steps

(2R*,4S*)-4-{[3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]-(5-hydroxymethylpyrimidin-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 (4 ml), then thereto are added sodium hydride (12 mg) and methyl iodide (0.02 ml) under ice-cooling, and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 3 hours and 30 minutes. A saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution is added to the reaction solution 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=4:1→3:2) to give (2R*,4S*)-4-{[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]-(5-methoxymethylpyrimidin-2-yl)}amino-2-ethyl-6-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-[1,5]naphthyridine-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (92 mg). MS (m/z): 628 [M+H]+
