The preparation of eight isomeric thieno[2,3‐b]‐ and [3,2‐b]‐fused naphthyridines [1] was improved through the Pd(0) catalyzed cross‐coupling of 3‐formyl‐4‐iodopyridine, 2‐formyl‐3‐iodopyridine, 3‐bromo‐4‐formylpyridine and 2‐bromo‐3‐formylpyridine with t‐butyl N‐(2‐trimethylstannyl‐3‐thienyl)car‐bamate and t‐butyl N‐(3‐trimethylstanny‐2‐thienyl)carbamate.
Through the use of Pd(0)‐catalyzed couplings between 2‐(2‐trimethylstannyl‐3‐pyridyl)‐1,3‐dioxolane, 3‐trimethylstannyl‐2‐pyridine carboxaldehyde, 3‐trimethylstannyl‐4‐pyridine carboxaldehyde and 4‐trimethyl‐stannyl‐3‐pyridine carboxaldehyde with t‐butyl‐N‐(3‐bromo‐2‐thienyl)carbamate, t‐butyl‐N‐(2‐bromo‐3‐thienyl)carbamate and t‐butyl‐N‐(4‐bromo‐3‐thienyl)carbamate in N,N‐dimethylformamide at 100°, using cupric oxide as a coreagent, all twelve isomeric thieno[b]naphthyridines have been synthesized in an one‐pot procedure. A detailed study of the 1H and 13C nmr spectra of these isomers has been undertaken.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
