Piperidine-3-methylamine → 7-[3-(Aminomethyl)-1-piperidinyl]-1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.04 g (3.84 mmole) of 7-chloro-1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid, 100 ml of acetonitrile and 1.32 g (11.5 mmole) of 3-aminomethylpiperidine [J. Org. Chem., 44, 4536 (1979)] were stirred at room temperature for four days. The reaction was filtered and the precipitate dissolved in aqueous ammonia, pH 10.5. The solution was filtered and the solvent removed at reduced pressure. The product was washed with water, then ether until dry to give 1.23 g of 7-[3-(aminomethyl)-1-piperidinyl]-1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid, mp 120°-122° C.
