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

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-benzyl-8-(2-ethoxy-pyrimidin-5-yl)-5-hydroxy-2-oxo-3-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-[1,7]naphthyridine-6-carboxylic acid methyl ester (58 mg, 0.11 mmol), β-alanine (818 mg, 9.13 mmol) and NaOMe solution (13.7 mL, 6.85 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 aqueous layer was extracted with additional EtOAc, and the organic layers were combined, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography (5-70% EtOAc/hexanes+1% AcOH). The product isolated 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 38 mg of the title compound as a light yellow solid. MS: (+) m/z 566.38 (M+1).
