Abstract
An optimized total synthesis of the 2-amino-6-chloro-4-cyclopropyl-7-fluoro-5-methoxy-pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine-1,3-dione core structure of a new fluoroquinolone-like class of antibacterial agents is described. This synthesis is highlighted by a nearly quantitative ring-closing reaction to form the pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine core. This bicyclic ring system serves as a scaffold for a family of biologically active compounds.
