Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-benzyl-8-hydroxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-[1,6]naphthyridine-7-carboxylic acid methyl ester (50 mg, 0.16 mmol) and N-bromosuccinimide (30 mg, 0.17 mmol) in 0.5 mL of CH2Cl2 was refluxed for 3 h. Solvent was evaporated, and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (0-5% MeOH/CH2Cl2) to give 26 mg of the title compound as a pale yellow solid. MS: (+) m/z 387.14, 389.13 (M-1, 79/81Br).
