A facile and novel synthesis of 1,6-naphthyridin-2(1H)-ones

A new and convenient procedure for the synthesis of 1,6-naphthyridin-2(1H)-ones and their derivatives is described. In the first scheme 5-acetyl-6-[2-(dimethylamino)ethenyl]-1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-3-pyridinecarbonitrile ( 4 ) obtained by the reaction of N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal with 5-acetyl-1,2-dihydro-6-methyl-2-oxo-3-pyridinecarbonitrile ( 3 ) was cyclized to 1,2-dihydro-5-methyl-2-oxo-1,6-naphthyridine-3-carbonitrile ( 5 ) by the action of ammonium acetate. Thermal decarboxylation of acid 7 obtained from the hydrolysis of nitrile 5 led to a mixture of 5-methyl-1,6-naphthyridin-2(1H)-one ( 8 ) and its dimer 9 . Hydrazide 11 obtained from nitrile 5 in two steps was converted to 3-amino-5-methyl-1,6-naphthyridin-2(1H)-one ( 12 ) by the Curtius rearrangement. The amino group of 12 was readily replaced by treatment with aqueous sodium hydroxide to yield 3-hydroxy-5-methyl-1,6-naphthyridin-2(1H)-one ( 13 ). In the second scheme, Michael reaction of enamines of type 20 with methyl propiolate, followed by ring closure gave 5-acyl(aroyl)-6-methyl-2(1H)-pyridinones ( 21 ) which in turn were treated with Bredereck's reagent to produce 5-acyl(aroyl)-6-[2-(dimethylamino)ethenyl]-2(1H)-pyridinones ( 22 ). Treatment of 22 with ammonium acetate led to the formation of 1,6-naphthyridin-2(1H)-ones 23 .     

Reactions of 3-methyl-1-(2-pyridyl)-4-chloro-5-formyl-6,7-dihydroindazole

The reactions of 3-methyl-1-(2-pyridyl)-, 3-methyl-1-phenyl-, and 3-methyl-1,6-diphenyl-4-chloro-5-formyl-6,7-dihydroindazoles with guanidine and benzo- and 3- and 4-pyridinecarbamidines gave the corresponding 8-substituted 1-methyl-3-(2-pyridyl)-and 1-methyl-3-phenyl-4,5-dihydropyrazolo[5,4-h]quinazolines. With acetic anhydride the same indazole derivatives gave the 4-acetoxy-5-formyl derivatives, and with hydroxylamine they gave4-chloro-5-hydroxyiminomethyl-6,7-dihydroindazoles. Thereactionof4-acetoxyl-1-(2-pyridyl)-5-formyl-6,7-dihydroindazole with hydroxylamine gave 8-methyl-6-(2-pyridyl)-4,5-dihydroisoxazolo[5,4-e]indazole, while dehydration of 5-hydroxyiminomethyl-3-methyl-4-chloro-6,7-dihydroindazole gave the 4-chloro-5-cyano derivative. The reaction of the latter with nucleophilic reagents was investigated.Riga Technical University, Riga, Latvia LV-1658.

A new and efficient route to amino derivatives of [1,6]- and [2,7]naphthyridones

Reaction of N-substituted amides of 2-chloro- or 4-chloronicotinic acid with CH-acidic nitriles in the presence of a base provides a convenient access to amino derivatives of 1,6-naphthyrid-5(6H)-one, compounds of type 4 and 5 , or 2,7-naphthyrid-1(2H)-one 7.     

Trifluoromethyl-substituted 1,6-naphthyridines and pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidines

A convenient method for the synthesis of 1-alkyl-5-trifluoromethyl-1,6-naphthyridin-4(1H)-ones was elaborated based on the reaction of 4-alkylamino-3-trifluoroacetimidoyl-3-penten-2-one diphenylboron chelates with dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal. 3-Acetyl-4-amino-2-trifluoromethylpyridine was used to obtain 5-trifluoromethyl-1,6-naphthyridin-4(1H)-one and its 2-methoxycarbonyl derivative, as well as 4-methyl-5-trifluoromethylpyrido-[4,3-d]pyrimidine.     

Synthesis of naphthyridinone derivatives as potential antimalarials

In this paper we present the synthesis of 8-(4′-amino-1′methyl-butylamino)-5-(β,β,β-trifluoroethoxy)-1,6-naphthyridine ( 4 ), 8-(4′-amino-1′methylbutylamino)-6-methyl-1,6-naphthyricline-5-one ( 5 ), two 1-alkyl-3-(4′-amino-1′-methylbutylamino)-7-methyl-1,8-naphthyridin-4-ones ( 20a ) and 20b ), 3-(1′-amino-4′-methylbutyl-amino)-l-ethyl-7-methyl-l,8-naphthyridin-4-one (20c), and 4-(4′-diethylamino-1′-methylbutylamino)-7-methyl-1,7-naphthyridin-8-one ( 28 ). The compounds were evaluated for antimalarial activity in the Plasmodium berghei screen and found to be inactive.     

Strategic studies in the syntheses of novel 6,7-substituted quinolones and 7- or 6-substituted 1,6- and 1,7-naphthyridones

This paper describes the different strategies devised and applied to overcome the selectivity issues in the syntheses of 6,7-disubstituted-1H-quinolin-4-one, 7-substituted-1H-1,6-naphthyridin-4-one and 6-substituted-1H-1,7-naphthyridin-4-one derivatives. They allowed us to improve the overall yields and the scaling-up feasibility. Several examples illustrate these strategies with their advantages and drawbacks.     

Enhancement of Antibiotic Activity by 1,8-Naphthyridine Derivatives against Multi-Resistant Bacterial Strains

The search for new antibacterial agents has become urgent due to the exponential growth of bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Nitrogen-containing heterocycles such as 1,8-naphthyridine derivatives have been shown to have excellent antimicrobial properties. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial and antibiotic-modulating activities of 1,8-naphthyridine derivatives against multi-resistant bacterial strains. The broth microdilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the following compounds: 7-acetamido-1,8-naphthyridin-4(1H)-one and 3-trifluoromethyl-N-(5-chloro-1,8-naphthyridin-2-yl)-benzenesulfonamide. The antibiotic-modulating activity was analyzed using subinhibitory concentrations (MIC/8) of these compounds in combination with norfloxacin, ofloxacin, and lomefloxacin. Multi-resistant strains of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus were used in both tests. Although the compounds had no direct antibacterial activity (MIC ≥ 1.024 µg/mL), they could decrease the MIC of these fluoroquinolones, indicating synergism was obtained from the association of the compounds. These results suggest the existence of a structure–activity relationship in this group of compounds with regard to the modulation of antibiotic activity. Therefore, we conclude that 1,8-naphthyridine derivatives potentiate the activity of fluoroquinolone antibiotics against multi-resistant bacterial strains, and thereby interesting candidates for the development of drugs against bacterial infections caused by multidrug resistant strains.     

Synthesis of functionalized pyridazin-3(2H)-ones via nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen (SNH)

Reaction of 2-benzyl-5-halopyridazin-3(2H)-ones (3) with Grignard reagents followed by quenching with electrophiles unexpectedly yielded 4,5-disubstituted pyridazin-3(2H)-ones instead of 5-substituted pyridazin-3(2H)-ones. These reactions represent the first examples of cine substitution in which the anionic σ(H)-adduct is quenched by electrophiles (other than a proton) before elimination takes place. Insight into the reaction mechanism led to the direct transformation of 2-benzylpyridazin-3(2H)-one (7) and 2-benzyl-6-chloropyridazin-3(2H)-one (9) into the corresponding C-4 alkyl and aryl derivatives (when Br(2) was used as the electrophile).

Unique tandem Heck-lactamization naphthyridinone ring formation between acrylanilides and halogenated pyridines

The Heck coupling of acrylanilides with 4-bromo-2-chloro-3-iodo-pyridine using palladium acetate can produce bis-Heck products or undergo an unusual tandem Heck-lactamization ring formation to generate 5-chloro-1-aryl-1,6-naphthyridin-2(1H)-ones.     

Synthesis of a 1,8-naphthyridin-5-one derivative via an intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction

Synthesis of a 1,8-naphthyridin-5-one derivative [(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-(3-chloro-6-hydroxymethyl-8-methyl)-1,8-naphthyridin-5-one (9) ] is described starting from 2-chloronicotinic acid using an intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction as the key step.     

Copper-catalyzed enantioselective synthesis of trans-1-alkyl-2-substituted cyclopropanes via tandem conjugate addition-intramolecular enolate trapping

Cu-TolBINAP-catalyzed conjugate addition of Grignard reagents to 4-chloro-α,β-unsaturated esters, thioesters, and ketones leads to 4-chloro-3-alkyl-substituted thioesters and ketones in up to 84% yield and up to 96% ee upon protonation of the corresponding enolates at low temperature. Tandem conjugate addition-enolate trapping, however, yields trans-1-alkyl-2-substituted cyclopropanes in up to 92% yield and up to 98% ee. The versatility of this reaction is illustrated by the formation of key intermediates for the formal syntheses of cascarillic acid and grenadamide.     

Synthesis and properties of salts of 2-substituted derivatives of 1, 6-dimethyl-7-chloro-1, 6-diazaphenalenium salts,III

A series of 2-substituted 1,6-diazaphenalene derivatives, the subsequent alkylation of which give 1,6-dimethyl-2-R-7-chloro-1,6-diazaphenalenium salts, was obtained by cyclization of acyl derivatives of 5-amino- and 5-methylamino-8-chlorolepidines. A study of the absorption spectra of the salts attests to the fact that, as in cyanine dyes, electron-donor substituents heighten the color, while electron-acceptor substituents deepen it.See [1] for communication II.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1391–1395, October, 1972.

Synthèse de 5H-isoquino[6, 7-b][1, 6]naphtyridones-12 substituées sur leur sommet 10

Starting from 4-chloronicotinic and derivatives and 6-amino-5-methyl-2H-isoquinolin-1-one, subsequent cyclization of intermediates by sulfuric acid or trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and chlorination by phosphorus oxychloride gave 10-chloro-6-methyl-5H-isoquino[6,6-b][1,6]naphthyridin-12-ones. Cytotoxicity of the corresponding 10-(diethylamino-3)propylamino-6-methyl-5H-isoquino[6,7-b][1,6]naphthyridinh12-ones, compared to that of related 9-azaellipticine derivatives, showed that replacement of pyrrole by a pyridin-4-one nucleus resulted in loss of biological activity.
