A three-component, one-pot synthesis of 1,8-naphthyridine and isoxazole derivatives and computational elucidation of the mechanism

WOS: 000461305200025An efficient and general method for the synthesis of substituted 3,4-dimethylisoxazolo[5,4-b]pyridine-5-carboxamide and benzo[b][1,8]naphthyridine-3-carboxamide derivatives by using 2,2,6-trimethyl-4H-1,3-dioxin-4-one, benzyl amine, aromatic aldehydes, 2-aminoquinoline, or 5-amino-3-methylisoxazole in the presence of a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid or iodine is described. The formation of the products was investigated and the results obtained were also supported by theoretical calculations.Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK)Turkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK) [112T880]; National Institutes of HealthUnited States Department of Health & Human ServicesNational Institutes of Health (NIH) - USA [SC1GM082340]N.
