Beta-Alanine → 3-[(1-Benzyl-5-hydroxy-2-oxo-3,8-diphenyl-1,2-dihydro-[1,7]naphthyridine-6-carbonyl)-amino]-propionic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-benzyl-5-hydroxy-2-oxo-3,8-diphenyl-1,2-dihydro-[1,7]naphthyridine-6-carboxylic acid methyl ester (23 mg, 0.050 mmol), β-alanine (444 mg, 5.0 mmol) and NaOMe solution (8 mL, 3.7 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 EtOAc and water. 1 M HCl was added with vigorous stirring until pH about 2. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography (5-60% EtOAc/hexanes+2% AcOH) to give 24 mg of the title compound as a yellow solid. MS: (+) m/z 520.34 (M+1).
