2-Methylpyridine-3-carbonitrile → 1-Amino-3-methyl-4-phenyl-2,5-naphthyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Similarly, by substituting the 3-cyano-2-methylpyridine reactant with equivalent quantities of 3-cyano-2-ethylpyridine, 3-cyano-2-benzylpyridine, 3-cyano-2-phenethylpyridine and by substantially following the foregoing reaction procedure there is produced 1-amino-3,4-dimethyl-2,5-naphthyridine, 1-amino-3-methyl-4-phenyl-2,5-naphthyridine, 1-amino-3-methyl-4-benzyl-2,5-naphthyridine, respectively. Similarly, in each of those reactions wherein the 3-cyano-2-methylpyridine has been substituted with another 3-cyano-2-substituted pyridine the acetonitrile reactant may also be substituted with the aforementioned nitriles and by substantially following the procedure described in the example, there is produced the appropriate 1-amino-3- and 4-substituted, 2,5-naphthyridines.
