1‐Ethyl‐6‐fluoro‐1,4‐dihydro‐7‐methyl‐4‐oxo‐1,8‐naphthyridine‐3‐carboxylic acid ( 8 ) has been prepared in large quantities by a highly efficient process. It has in turn been degraded to give 7‐chloro‐1‐ethyl‐6‐fluoro‐1,4‐dihydro‐4‐oxo‐1,8‐naphthyridine‐3‐carboxylic acid ( 11 ). This intermediate has been reacted with piperazine to give the known antibacterial agent, enoxacin ( 12 ).
