1,6‐ and 1,7‐naphthyridines. IV. Synthesis of hydroxycarboxamide derivatives

A series of 8‐hydroxy‐1,6‐naphthyridin‐5(6H)‐one‐7‐carboxamides 1 and the isomeric 5‐hydroxy‐1,7‐naphthyridin‐8(7H)‐one‐6‐carboxamides 2 were synthesized. N‐Lactam unsubstituted compounds 1a‐c and 2a,b were obtained by alkoxide‐induced rearrangement of the corresponding quinolinimidoacetamides 3 . Compounds 1e,f and 2e,f were synthesized by heterocyclization of the corresponding quinolinamic esters 6 and 7 . Spectroscopic properties (uv, ir, ¹H and ¹³C nmr and ms) were analyzed and the proposed structures confirmed.
