Abstract:
A sequential three-component reaction of 3,5-diarylidenepiperidin-4-one, malononitrile, and amine (such as aromatic amine, cyclopropanamine, and NH(4)OAc) in acetic acid under microwave irradiation has been developed. In this one-pot reaction, a series of new N-substituted 2-amino-1,6-naphthyridine derivatives were synthesized with excellent yields. This method has the advantages of operational simplicity and increased safety for small-scale fast synthesis of N-aryl 2-amino-1,6-naphthyridines for biomedical screening.

Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution: Addition–Elimination (SNAr)
The reaction begins with an attack of the nucleophile on the carbon that holds the leaving group. This results in the delocalization of the π electrons over the ring carbons. The resonance interaction between the...
Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
