Abstract

The tin hydride–mediated cyclizations of a number of ethers, sulfides, and sulfones under mild, neutral conditions have been investigated. While the 2-bromobenzyloxy ethers were prepared in 62–65% yields by the alkylation of 4-hydroxy-1-phenyl-1,8-naphthyridin-2(1H)-one with 2-bromobenzyl bromides in refluxing acetone in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate, the sulfides were derived from 4-mercapto-1-phenyl-1,8-naphthyridin-2(1H)-one and 2-bromobenzyl bromides in 82–84% yields by a phase-transfer catalysis (PTC) reaction. The corresponding sulfones were prepared by treatment of the sulfides with m-CPBA in refluxing dichloromethane. The ethers, sulfides, and the sulfones were treated with n Bu3SnH-AIBN to give regioselectively 1,8-naphthyridinone-annulated oxygen and sulfur heterocycles in 70–78% yields.
