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-2(1H)-酮 (I),其中 R' 是 .氢或甲基,Q 为羟甲基、1-羟乙基烷酰氧基甲基或 1-烷酰氧基乙基、首先将 4-R'-5-乙酰基(或正丙酰基)-6-[2-(二低级烷基
氨基)-2(1H)-
吡啶酮(III)]与
羟胺或其盐反应,生成 4-R'-5-Q'-
1,6-萘啶-2(1H)-酮-6-氧化物(II),其中 R'定义如上,Q'为甲基或乙基;再将 II 与烷酸酐反应生成 I,其中 Q 为烷酰氧基甲基或 1-烷酰氧基乙基;然后,
水解所述烷酰氧基甲基或-乙基化合物,生成 I,其中 Q 为羟甲基或 1-羟乙基。图中还显示了 II 和 I 的强心剂用途,其中 Q 为羟甲基、1-羟乙基或烷酰氧基甲基。
