A convenient route to cyano derivatives of benzonaphthyridines

  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

A smooth synthesis of benzo[c][1,5]naphthyridine-6-carbonitrile and benzo[h][1,6]naphthyridine-5-carbonitrile, starting from benzonaphthyridine N-oxides, is achieved by treatment with trimethylsilane carbonitrile (Me3SiCN) in CH2Cl2 at 0–5 °C. The resulting nitriles are then hydrolyzed to the corresponding acids by boiling in aqueous alkali.
