Beta-Alanine → 3-{[1-Benzyl-5-hydroxy-8-(5-methoxy-pyridin-3-yl)-2-oxo-3-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-[1,7]naphthyridine-6-carbonyl]amino}-propionic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-benzyl-5-hydroxy-8-(5-methoxy-pyridin-3-yl)-2-oxo-3-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-[1,7]naphthyridine-6-carboxylic acid methyl ester (45 mg, 0.091 mmol), β-alanine (651 mg, 7.30 mmol) and NaOMe solution (11 mL, 5.48 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 was about 3-4. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in saturated NaHCO3 and washed several times with ether. The aqueous layer was acidified to pH about 3-4 with 6 M HCl, and the resulting precipitate was isolated by filtration to give 35 mg of the title compound as a light tan solid. MS: (+) m/z 551.32 (M+1).
