Beta-Alanine → 3-[(7-Benzyl-4-hydroxy-8-oxo-1-pyridin-3-yl-7,8-dihydro-[2,7]naphthyridine-3-carbonyl)-amino]-propionic acid

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-benzyl-4-hydroxy-8-oxo-1-pyridin-3-yl-7,8-dihydro-[2,7]naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (24 mg, 0.062 mmol), β-alanine (552 mg, 6.2 mmol) and NaOMe solution (10 mL, 5.0 mmol, 0.5 M in MeOH) was refluxed for 16 h. After the mixture was cooled to r.t., solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between water and EtOAc. 1 M HCl was added until pH was about 3-4. The aqueous layer was extracted with additional EtOAc, and the organic layers were combined and concentrated to dryness. The residue was dissolved in saturated NaHCO3 and washed several times with ether. The aqueous layer was acidified to pH about 3-4, and the resulting precipitate was isolated by filtration to give 12 mg of the title compound as a light yellow solid. MS: (+) m/z 445.39 (M+1).
