4-R'-5-Q-1,6-naphthyridin-2(1H)-ones (I), where R' is hydrogen or methyl and Q is hydroxymethyl, 1-hydroxyethyl alkanoyloxymethyl or 1-alkanoyloxyethyl, are produced by first reacting 4-R'-5-acetyl(or n-propanoyl)-6-[2-(di-lower-alkylamino]-2(1H)-pyridinone [III] with hydroxylamine or salt thereof to produce 4-R'-5-Q'-1,6-naphthyridin-2(1H)-one-6-oxide (II), where R' is defined as above and Q' is methyl or ethyl; next reacting II with an alkanoic anhydride to produce I where Q is alkanoyloxymethyl or 1-alkanoyloxyethyl; and, then hydrolyzing said alkanoyloxymethyl or -ethyl compound to produce I where Q is hydroxymethyl or 1-hydroxyethyl. Also shown is the cardiotonic use of II and I where Q is hydroxymethyl, 1-hydroxyethyl or alkanoyloxymethyl.
4-R'-5-Q-1,6-
萘啶并[2(1H)-酮] (I),其中R'代表氢或甲基,Q代表羟甲基,1-羟乙基酰氧甲基或1-酰氧乙基,通过首先将4-R'-5-乙酰基(或正丙酰基)-6-[2-(二低烷基)
氨基]-2(1H)-
吡啶酮[III]与
羟胺或其盐反应,产生4-R'-5-Q'-1,6-
萘啶并[2(1H)-酮]-6-氧化物(II),其中R'如上所定义,Q'为甲基或乙基;然后将II与
羧酸酐反应,产生I,其中Q为酰氧甲基或1-酰氧乙基;然后
水解所述的酰氧甲基或乙基化合物,产生I,其中Q为羟甲基或1-羟乙基。还显示了II和I的强心作用,其中Q为羟甲基,1-羟乙基或酰氧甲基。
