Methyl 2-benzyl-9-bromo-5-oxo-1,2,3,4,5,10-hexahydrobenzo[b][1,7]naphthyridine-6-carboxylate → Methyl 2-benzyl-5-oxo-1,2,3,4,5,10-hexahydrobenzo[b][1,7]naphthyridine-6-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-benzyl-9-bromo-5-oxo-1,2,3,4,5,10-hexahydrobenzo[b][1,7]naphthyridine-6-carboxylate (0.1 g, 0.23 mmol) in MeOH (3 mL) was added Pd/C (0.04 g, 5%, 50% water), and the mixture was stirred at atmosphere of hydrogen for about 2.5 h. Debromination occurred without substantially removing benzyl group under this condition. Then the mixture was filtered, washed with MeOH (50 mL), concentrated and was chromatographed on silica gel to afford the product (0.05 g). MS (ESI) m/e [M+1]+ 349.0.
