1,8-Naphthyridines
Abstract
Four routes have been investigated for the preparation of 1,8-naphthyridines; a Niementowski synthesis from ethyl 2-amino-6-phenylnicotinate, a Friedlander synthesis from 2-aminonicotinaldehydes, reductive cyclisation of ethyl 2-nitro-3-pyridylmethylenemalonate, and an intramolecular nucleophilic cyclisation of 3-(3-pyridyl)-2-phenylpropylamine.
