Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 8-[(4-methoxybenzyl)oxy]-5-vinyl-[1,6]-naphthyridine-7-carboxylate (0.26 g, 0.73 mmol), paraformaldehyde (96 mg), and 1-acetyl-2-methylhydrazine (0.22 g, 2.45 mmol; J. Org. Chem. 1972, 37, 3608) in toluene (15 mL) was heated in an oil bath at 120° C. for 1.5 hour. The resulting mixture was concentrated under vacuum. The residue was subjected to column chromatography on silica gel eluting first with a gradient of 0-5% methanol in ethyl acetate. Collection and concentration of appropriate fractions provided the title acetylpyrazolidine.
