Azidation of the chloroaldehyde 2, which was obtained from the 6-hydroxy-2-
pyridones 1, afforded the 6-azido-2-pyridones 3. Compound 3 can be converte
d to the corresponding 6-amino-2-pyridones 5, by the reaction with tripheny
lphosphine via phosphazenes and subsequent hydrolysis (Staudinger reaction)
. This obtained amine 5 reacts with ethyl cyanoacetate in an ethanolic solu
tion containing piperidine to give 7-amino-6-carbethoxy-3-cy ano-1,4-dimeth
yl-1,8-naphthyridin-2(1H)-one (9), Reaction of 9 with dimethylformamide dim
ethyl acetal, triethylorthoformate and hydrazine hydrate furnished the new
1,8-naphthyridin-2-ones 10, 11 and 12. respectively, in good yields. On the
other hand, refluxing 9 with piperidine or morpholine, as secondary amines
, did not afford the corresponding 1.8-naphthyridin-2-ones 13, but instead
it undergoes a thermal decomposition under these reaction conditions to yie
ld the unexpected 6-amino-3-cyano-1,4-dimethyl-pyridin-2(1K)-one (14).
