Beta-Alanine → 3-{[7-(2,4-Dimethoxy-benzyl)-4-hydroxy-8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-[2,7]naphthyridine-3-carbonyl]-amino}-propionic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-(2,4-dimethoxy-benzyl)-4-hydroxy-8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-[2,7]naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (25 mg, 0.068 mmol), β-alanine (801 mg, 9.0 mmol) and NaOMe solution (13.5 mL, 6.8 mmol, 0.5 M in MeOH) was refluxed for 16 h. Solvent was evaporated in vacuo, and the residue was dissolved in saturated NaHCO3 and washed with ether. The aqueous layer was acidified with 4 M HCl to pH about 1, and the resulting precipitate was isolated by filtration. The crude solid was further purified by silica gel chromatography (5-60% EtOAc/hexanes+2% AcOH) to give 14 mg of the title compound as a light yellow solid. MS: (+) m/z 428.31 (M+1).
