Practical Synthesis of 1,8-Naphthyridine-2,7-dialdehydes Syntone

Abstract

Several synthetic approaches for synthesizing 1,8-naphthyridines were tested. Reliable protocols for synthesis of some new 1,8-naphthyridine-2,7-dialdehydes were developed starting from 2-amino-6-methylpyridine and acetoacetate. The dialdehyde were found to react with pyrrole to form either a polymer or a macrocycle depending on conditions.
