Multicomponent synthesis of epoxy-tetrahydronaphthyridine and structural diversification by subsequent fragmentation

Three-component reaction of an α-isocyanoacetamide 7, an homoallylamine 8 and an aldehyde 9 in methanol at room temperature provides oxa-bridged tricycle 4 in good to excellent yield as a mixture of two separable diastereoisomers. In this one-pot multicomponent process, one C-N, one C-O and three C-C bonds are formed with concomitant creation of five asymmetric centers and three rings. Fragmentation of epoxy-tetrahydronaphthyridine 4 affords differentially substituted 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,7-naphthyridine (5, 6) depending on the reaction conditions, providing thus additional structural diversity. A one-pot three-component synthesis of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,7-naphthyridine (6) from 7, 8 and 9 is also documented.

Synthesis of 4‐Aryl‐1,7‐naphthyridine‐2(1H)‐thiones by the Electrocyclic Reaction of 4‐(1‐Arylalk‐1‐enyl)‐3‐isothiocyanatopyridines Generated in situ from the Corresponding Isocyanides

A convenient synthis for 4‐substituted and 3,4‐disubstituted 1,7‐naphthyridine‐2(1H)‐thiones 7 has been developed. The method is based on the electrocyclic reaction of 4‐(1‐arylalk‐1‐enyl)‐3‐isothiocyanatopyridines 6 , generated in situ by the treatment of the respective isocyanides 5 with S₈ in the presence of a catalytic amount of selenium. The isocyanides 5 can be easily prepared from commercially available pyridin‐3‐amine by conventional organic reactions.     

Palladium-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of benzo[b][1,6]naphthyridines via Sonogashira coupling and annulation reactions from 2-chloroquinoline-3-carbonitriles

Palladium-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of 1,3-disubstituted benzo[b][1,6]naphthyridines and [1,6]naphthyridines has been described from easily accessible precursors, 2-chloroquinoline-3-carbonitriles and 2-chloropyrido-3-carbonitrile via sequential additions of palladium-catalyst for Sonogashira-coupling and the following annulations in good to excellent yields. A plausible mechanism for annulation is discussed.     

A naphthyridine based macrocyclic “switching on” fluorescent receptor for cadmium

A new macrocyclic receptor 1 having [1,8]-naphthyridine fluorophore is designed and synthesized for selective fluorescence sensing of Cd²⁺. Receptor 1 selectively responds to Cd²⁺ over other tested metal ions via a large enhancement of emission intensity due to the cation-induced CHEF (chelation enhanced fluorescence) effect. Receptor 1 although exhibits some affinity towards Zn²⁺, it selectively binds Cd²⁺ over Zn²⁺. Binding and selectivity were examined by ¹H-NMR, fluorescence, UV-vis, mass and IR-spectroscopic techniques.     

Base-free amination of BH acetates of 2-chloroquinolinyl-3-carboxaldehydes: a facile route to the synthesis of N-substituted-1,2-dihydrobenzo[b][1,8]naphthyridines

An efficient base-free one-pot synthesis of 1,2-dihydrobenzo[b][1,8]naphthyridines from BH acetates of 2-chloro-3-formylquinolines and activated alkenes followed by their acetylation, with different amines have been reported. These reactions are completed in very short time and provided the products in good to excellent yields. We further explored the scope of BH acetate with carbon nucleophile providing a new route to the synthesis of acridine derivative in excellent yield under mild condition.     

Structural Characterization of Di- and Mono-Imidazolyl-Substituted 1,8-Naphthyridine Derivatives

Abstract  Two imidazolyl derived 1,8-naphthyridine compounds (2,7-diimidazolyl-1,8-naphthyridine (a), and 2-benzimidazolyl-5,7-dimethyl-1,8-napthyridine (b)) were synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. The compound a co-crystallizes with one ethanol and two water molecules to give compound 1. Compound 1 crystallizes in the triclinic, space group P-1, with a = 6.943(2) ?, b = 9.009(3) ?, c = 13.760(3) ?, α = 96.793(2)°, β = 97.431(3)°, γ = 107.080(2)°, V = 804.6(4) ?³, Z = 2. Compound 1 forms a 3D interpenetrated network through hydrogen bonds. Compound b co-crystallizes with three and one half water molecules to form 2. Compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic, space group C2/c, with a = 24.926(8) ?, b = 10.608(3) ?, c = 16.751(5)?, β = 110.133(4)°, V = 4159(2) ?³, Z = 8. The free water molecules form six-membered rings, these water rings connect the naphthyridine to form one dimensional chain when viewed from b axis. The naphthyridyl rings in a and b axis are connected through C–H···π, and π–π interactions, due to the weak interactions the compound shows 3D network structure. Graphical Abstract  Due to the weak interactions, the naphthyridine derivatives showed 3D network structure.      

Multi-site coordination of ferrocenylamido-naphthyridine conjugates [{(5,7-dimethyl-1,8-naphthyridin-2-yl)amino}carbonyl]ferrocene and 1,1′-bis[{(5,7-dimethyl-1,8-naphthyridin-2-yl)amino}carbonyl]ferrocene

Ferrocenylamido-naphthyridine conjugates [{(5,7-dimethyl-1,8-naphthyridin-2-yl)amino}carbonyl]ferrocene (L¹) and 1,1′-bis[{(5,7-dimethyl-1,8-naphthyridin-2-yl)amino}carbonyl]ferrocene (L²) have been synthesized. Reaction of L¹ with [Cu(CH₃CN)₆][ClO₄]₂ affords [Cu(L¹)₂][ClO₄]₂ (1) demonstrating tridentate coordination of the ligand utilizing naphthyridine (NP) nitrogens and carbonyl oxygen. Hydroxo-bridged neutral dirhenium(I) compound [K⊂{{Re(CO)₃}₂(μ-OH)(Fc(CONHNP)(CO NP))₂}] (2) is reported in which the amido-NP arm of L² chelates a Re^I, and a K⁺ ion is encapsulated in a six-coordinate environment rendered by four NP nitrogens and two carbonyl oxygens involving all four arms of two L² ligands. Selective and reversible binding of K⁺ ion by the organometallic host has been recognized from electrochemical and fluorescence experiments. Partial hydrolysis of L² has provided a neutral metallamacrocycle [{Re(CO)₃}₂{Fc(CO₂)(CONHNP)}₂] (3) consisting of alternate Fc and Re(CO)₃ units linked by carboxylate and amide-NP bridges. The rotational freedom of the ferrocenyl rings, the flexibility of the amide linker and the multi-site coordination of the ligands are demonstrated in the molecular structures of compounds 1-3.     

Efficient Synthesis of Novel 3-[5-(1H-Benzimidazol-2-Ylmethanesulfonyl)-4-Phenyl-4H-(1,2,4)Triazol-3-Yl]-1H-(1,8)Naphthyridin-4-One Derivatives

Abstract

of 1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carbohydrazide (4) with substituted phenyl isothiocyanates (5) in ethanol under reflux for 30 min gave thiosemicarbazide derivatives 6, which on cyclization in 2N NaOH under refluxing conditions for 1 h resulted in 3-(5-mercapto- 4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-1,8-naphthyridin-4(1H)-one (7). Alternatively, 7 could also be prepared from following sequence of reactions, i.e., 4 → 8 → 7. In another sequence of reactions, condensation of 7 with chloroacetic acid in dimethylformamide (DMF) and K₂CO₃ as a mild base at 120 °C for 2 h resulted in 2-((5-(1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridin-3-yl)-4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)sulfanyl)acetic acid (10). The latter, on reaction with substituted o-phenylenediamine (11) in 6N HCl for 4 h yielded 3-(5-((1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methylthio)-4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-1,8-naphthyridin-4(1H)-one (12). Alternatively, 12 could also be prepared by reacting 7 with 13 in DMF and K₂CO₃ as a mild base at 120 °C for 2 h, followed by oxidation with H₂O₂ resulting in the corresponding sulfonyl derivatives 14.
