2-Amino-6-methylpyridine (4) reacts with active malonates 2a-d or 3a-d either in acetone solution with triethylamine as catalyst at room temperature or with active malonates 2a-d in acetone solution at reflux temperature to yield the pyridopyrimidines 5a-d. 2,6-Diaminopyridine (8) already reacts without triethylamine with 2a-d at room temperature to afford the pyridopyrimidines 9a-d.At higher temperatures pyridopyrimidines 5 and 9 are rearranged via ketene intermediates to yield the 1,8-naphthyridines 6a-d, and 10a-d, respectively.The naphthyridines 6 and 10 can also be synthesized directly from 4 or 8 using either diethyl malonates 1 or - with better results - the active malonates 2 at 240-250 deg C.Further reaction of 10a-e with 2c,d leads to the pyridonaphthyridines 12a-f.Nitration of 6c yields the nitro derivative 16 and chlorination of 6c,d gives 15c,d, while the chlorination of 10c affords the dichloro derivative 17.
