Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid → 4-[(1-Benzyl-8-cyano-5-hydroxy-2-oxo-3-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-[1,7]naphthyridine-6-carbonyl)-amino]-butyric acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-benzyl-8-cyano-5-hydroxy-2-oxo-3-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-[1,7]naphthyridine-6-carboxylic acid methyl ester (45 mg, 0.11 mmol), 4-aminobutyric acid (3.76 g, 36.5 mmol) and NaOMe solution (54 mL, 27.4 mmol, 0.5 M in MeOH) was refluxed for 16 h. After the mixture was cooled to r.t., the solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between water and EtOAc. 1M HCl was added with vigorous stirring until pH was about 1. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The crude was chromatographed (0-60% EtOAc/hexanes+2% AcOH) to give 35 mg of the title compound. MS: (+) m/z 483.16 (M+1).
