Abstract:An one-pot approach was developed for the synthesis of substituted 5,7-dihydro-1,6-naphthyridines and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolines with moderate to good yields. This pathway is a modified two-step synthesis of Kröhnke pyridine and involves a four-component tandem reaction of N-phenacylpyridinium bromide, aromatic aldehydes, substituted or nitrogen-containing cyclic ketones and a nitrogen source. This multi-component reaction is performed using microwave irradiation heating of the reaction substrates under an e… Show more
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.
