Functionally substituted 1,8-naphthyridines are found
in many natural objects and they exhibit a wide range of
biological action [1–3]. N-substituted 1,8-naphthyridine
derivatives are worth special mention, many among them
are used in medicine as efficient antibacterial agents,
antibiotics (for instance, nalidixic acid, enoxacin. gemi-
floxacin [4–7]).
as Michael donors [8].

0.183 g (0.001 mol) of enhydrazinoketone IIа, 0.22 g
(0.001 mol) of malononitrile dimer benzylidene deriva-
tive I, and 0.085 g (0.001 mol) of piperidine in 5 mL of
ethanol was heated at reflux for 10–15 min. On cooling
the separated precipitate was filtered off and washed with
a little 2-propanol. Yield 0.32 g (79%), mp 237–238°С

Many synthetic procedures for the preparation of
highly functionalized 1,8-naphthyridines are multistage
and labor-consuming for they include the stage by stage
introduction of the functional groups. We have developed
in this study a one-stage synthetic method underlain by
the reaction of a benzylidene derivative of malononitrile
dimer I with enaminoketones IIа–IId. As a result we
obtained in 75–93% yields N-substituted 2,4-diamino-
6-oxo-5-phenyl-5,6,7,8,9,10-hexahydrobenzo[b][1,8]
naphthyridine-3-carbonitriles IIIа–IIId.
The structure of the synthesized 1,8-naphthyridine de-
rivatives IIIа–IIId was established based on IR, 1Н NMR,
and mass spectra.
The formation of compounds IIIа–IIId apparently
involves the building of Michael adduct А, which un-
dergoes an intramolecular cyclization into B derivative
.
Compounds IIIb–IIId were analogously obtained.
The formation of the final 1,8-naphthyridines IIIа–IIId
is completed by the cyclization involving the spatially
2,4-Diamino-8,8-dimethyl-6-oxo-5-phenyl-10-
(phenylamino)-5,6,7,8,9,10-hexahydrobenzo[b]
[1,8]-naphthyridine-3-carbonitrile (IIIb). Yield (87%),
mp 229–230°С (decomp.). IR spectrum, ν, cm–1: 3430,
3347 (NH2), 3217 (NH), 2196 (C≡N), 1620 (С=О).

(3H, CH3), 1.97 d (1H, CH2CO, J 16.9 Hz)*, 2.11 d
(1H, CH2CO, J 16.0 Hz), 2.21 (1H, CH2, J 14.0 Hz)*,
contiguous amino and cyano groups
.
Compound IIIb according to the 1Н NMR data exists
as two isomers apparently due to the slow inversion of
the nitrogen atom. The reported method of 1,8-naph-
thyridines IIIа–IIId preparation is a modification of the
previously developed procedure of the synthesis of 5H-
chromeno[2,3-b]pyridines with the use of 1,3-diketones
