Aryl-1,6-naphthyridines preparation

Substituted-3-aryl[l,6]naphthyridin-2-amines and 7-substituted-3-aryl[l,6]naphthyridin-2(l//)-ones have been prepared by diazotization of 3-aryl[l,6]naphthyridine-2,7-diamines, themselves obtained by the condensation cycli-zation of 4,6-diaminonicotinaldehyde and phenylacetonitrile <2000J(P1)1843>. Derivatives of cyanoacetic acid have rarely been used in the synthesis of naphthyridines, although a recent study has shown that they may be reacted with 4-piperidone derivatives to give [l,6]naphthyridines <2000CHE496>. 

A versatile and flexible route to naphthyridines, containing an isoquinolinic nitrogen, and their corresponding A -oxides, has been reported from various o-bromopyridinecarbaldehydes and ammonia <1999S306>. Highly functionalized naphthyridones (and quinolines) have been prepared from a common A -aryl pyridinone template (Scheme 39) <20020L2071>. 

This chapter covers information on the preparation, physical properties, and reactions of 1,5-naphyhyridine and its C-alkyl, C-aryl, /V-alkyl, and /V-aryl derivatives as well as their respective ring-reduced analogs. In addition, it includes methods for introducing alkyl or aryl groups (substituted or otherwise) into 1,5-naphthyridines already bearing substituents and the reactions specific to the alkyl or aryl groups in such compounds. For simplicity, the term alkyl-l,5-naphthyridine in this chapter is intended to include alkyl-, alkenyl-, alkynyl-, aralkyl-, and cycloalkyl-1,5-naphthyridines likewise, aryl-l,5-naphthyridine includes both aryl-and heteroaryl-1,5-naphthyridines. 

In the past year, reviews on 1,8-naphthyridines, perimidines, polyazaphen-anthrenes, 3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes, and 1,2- and 2,1-benzothiazines have appeared. Reviews on specialist aspects of pyridine chemistry are devoted to the reactions of newly available pyridines, a,a -disubstituted pyridines, the reactions of pyridines with nucleophiles, the electrochemistry of IjT-disubstituted 4,4 -bipyridinium ions (the viologens such as paraquat), dihydropyridines, and 4-aryl-dihydropyridines (a new class of calcium antagonists). Reviews have been published on the cyclization of oximes and amides to quinolines and isoquinolines, quinoline- and isoquinoline-diones, benzo[fl ]- and benzo[c]-quinolizinium ions, azachrysene preparation, quinazolines with plant-growth-regulating and biocidal activities, quinazolines in pharmaceutical research, isotopic hydrogen exchange in... 

A well-established preparative method of alkynyl ketones 110 is the Sonogashira-type carbonylation of aryl halides in the presence of terminal alkynes. (Trimethylsi-lyOpyridylethyne (111), deprotected in situ, reacted with 3-iodotoluene and CO to give the alkynyl m-tolyl ketone 112 using DPPF as a hgand. Pd-catalyzed reductive cyclization of 112 using HCO2H afforded the 1,8-naphthyridine 113 [48].
