Reaction Steps

2-Hydroxy-3-methyl-1,6-naphthyridine, the tautomeric form of 3-methyl-1,6-naphthyridin-2(1H)-one, was reportedly prepared by Ogata et al. [Chem. Pharm. Bull. 20, 2264 (1972)] in two steps by first photocyclization of N-(4-pyridinyl)methacrylamide to produce 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-methyl-2-oxo-1,6-naphthyridine and then dehydrogenating said tetrahydro compound by heating it in acetic acid. 3-Cyano-2-hydroxy-1,6-naphthyridine, the tautomeric form of 3-cyano-1,6-naphthyridin-2(1H)-one, was reportedly prepared by Hawes et al [J. Med. Chem. 16, 849 (1973)] by refluxing 4-aminonicotinaldehyde and ethyl cyanoacetate in ethanol in the presence of piperidine. The compound was reportedly used as an intermediate for preparing 2-amino-3-cyano-1,6-naphthyridine, a "potential diuretic agent", and is shown as having low diuretic activity.
