A volume in the Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds series, this book provides a summary of the chemistry of each of the six naphthyridine systems along with tables of known simple derivatives with original references.
Each of the six naphthyridine systems are described in valuable detail and coverage includes: Primary synthetic methods from non-naphthyridine substrates; Chemistry and properties of the parent heterocycle and its simple alkyl derivatives; Formation and reactions of halogeno derivatives; formation and reactions of hydroxy, oxo, alkoxy, and related derivatives.
