1-Alkyl-5-(alkylaminocarbonyl)-4,6-dimethyl-2-pyridones were obtained in high yields from the self-condensation of N -alkyl-3-oxobutanamides in the presence of p -toluenesulfonic acid as a catalyst at 100-110°C for 11-24 hours without solvent.

Novel method for the synthesis of 3‐acyl‐1,6‐dialkyl‐7‐methyl‐1,6‐naphthyridine‐2,5(1H,6H)‐diones (2) was developed. The reaction of 2‐acyl‐1‐alkylamino‐1‐ethoxyethylenes (1) with acetyl chloride or β‐keto amide 3 with acetyl chloride in the presence of p‐toluenesulfonic acid gave 2 in moderate yield (14‐59% yield).

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
