Participants

Reaction Steps

(2R*,4S*)-4-{[3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]-[5-(hydroxymethyl)-pyrimidin-2-yl]}amino-2-ethyl-6-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-[1,5]naphthyridine-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (1 g) is dissolved in methylene chloride (20 ml), then thereto are added triphenylphosphine (855 mg) and carbon tetrabromide (1.35 g), and the mixture is stirred for 3 hours. 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=9:1→4:1) to give (2R*,4S*)-4-{[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]-[5-(bromomethyl)pyrimidin-2-yl]}amino-2-ethyl-6-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-[1,5]naphthyridine-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (690 mg). MS (m/z): 676/678 [M+H]+
