Phenyl isocyanate → N-[4-(4-amino-2-butyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c][1,5]naphthyridin-1-yl)butyl]-N'-phenylurea

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, phenyl isocyanate (521L, 0.48 mmol) was added to a suspension of 4-(4-amino-2-butyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c][1,5]naphthyridin-1-yl)butaneamine (0.15 g, 0.48 mmole) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (60 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred for 20 minutes at which time it had turned homogeneous and thin layer chromatography indicated no starting material remained. Aminomethyl resin (280 mg of 1% cross linked, 100-200 mesh available from BACHEM, Torrance, Calif.) was added and the reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 0.5 hr. Silica gel (0.4 g) was added and the mixture was concentrated under vacuum to provide a solid. The solid was purified by flash chromatography eluting with 95/5 dichloromethane/methanol to give a white solid which was dried under vacuum at 60° C. to provide 0.12 g of N-[4-(4amino-2-butyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c][1,5]naphthyridin-1-yl)butyl]-N′-phenylurea. Analysis: Calculated for C24H29N7O+⅕H2O: %C, 66.25; %H, 6.81; %N, 22.53; Found: %C, 66.27; %H, 6.63; %N, 22.83
