The synthesis of 6-ethoxy-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-[1,5]naphthyridine-3- carboxylic acid benzylamide (1) on multikilogram scale is described. The major challenge for the synthesis of this quinolone GABA partial agonist was in the isolation of product of acceptable purity for clinical studies due to the insolubility of this compound. Also described are efforts to circumvent a high-temperature cyclization required for the synthesis of the quinolone ring system.
