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

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-benzyl-5-hydroxy-2-oxo-8-pyridin-3-yl-3-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-1,2-dihydro-[1,7]naphthyridine-6-carboxylic acid methyl ester (29 mg, 0.055 mmol), β-alanine (487 mg, 5.5 mmol) and NaOMe solution (8.8 mL, 4.4 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 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 residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (10-100% 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, and the resulting precipitate was isolated by filtration to give 13 mg of the title compound. MS: (+) m/z 589.24 (M+1).
