Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-{2-[2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-5-nitropyridin-1-yl]-4-pyridyl}-2,3-bis(acetoxymethyl)-6,7-dimethoxynaphthalene (1.83 g) in methanol (50 ml) is added sodium methoxide (0.72 g) under ice-cooling. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for one hour. To the mixture is added acetic acid (0.8 ml) under ice-cooling, and the mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure to remove the solvent. To the residue are added chloroform and an aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and the chloroform layer is separated, washed, dried and concentrated under reduced pressure to remove the solvent. The residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (solvent; chloroform:acetone=3:1), and crystallized from ethyl acetate to give 1-{2-[2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-5-nitropyridin-1-yl]-4-pyridyl}-2,3-bis(hydroxymethyl)-6,7-dimethoxynaphthalene (0.81 g) which is listed in Table 1.
