Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(4,6-dichloro-1,5-naphthyridin-3-yl)ethanone (3.0 g, 12 mmol) in THF (120 mL) was added benzyltrimethylammonium dichloroiodate (4.3 g, 12 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 5 h. The reaction mixture was cooled, diluted with satd. aq. sodium bicarbonate and extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica, dichloromethane/ethyl acetate) to afford the desired product (1.1 g, 32%) as an off-white solid. ESI MS m/z 275 [M+H]+.
