6, 7-Diethoxy-1-[1-(2-methoxyethyl)-2-oxo-1, 2-dihydropyridin-4-yl]naphthalene-2, 3-dimethanol [T-440, (1)]is a potential anti-asthmatic agent based on selective phosphodiesterase 4 inhibition. It was necessary for the further evaluation of 1 to develop an efficient synthetic route for 1, especially the construction of the 1-(2-methoxyethyl)-2-pyridone moiety. We examined an N-selective alkylation of pyridone derivative (2) in basic media, 2-Methoxyethylation of 2 with 2-methoxyethyl iodide utilizing LiH as the base gave predominantly an N-alkyl pyridone derivative (3a) in 82% yield (N/O-alkylation=92/8), which is compatible with an ab initio calculation of transition-state structures for the methylation of 2-pyridone. Single crystallization of a crude mixture of 3a and 4a furnished pure 3a, which is a key synthetic intermediate of 1.

生物(2)在碱性介质中的 N-选择性烷基化反应,利用 LiH 作为碱,用 2-甲氧基乙基
碘化物对 2 进行 2-甲氧基乙基化反应,主要得到了一种 N-烷基
吡啶酮衍
生物(3a),收率为 82%(N/O-烷基化=92/8),这与 2-
吡啶酮甲基化过渡态结构的 ab initio 计算结果相符。对 3a 和 4a 的粗混合物进行单结晶,得到了纯净的 3a,它是 1 的关键合成中间体。
