The reaction of 1,6‐naphthyridine 3 with acetic anhydride results in the formation of the 1:1 adduct 4 . Upon catalytic hydrogenation followed by acid hydrolysis and esterification, 4 affords 7 as an A‐B steroid ring system synthon in moderate yield. Upon condensation with cyclopentanone and cyclohexanone, 7 , gives the 4,8‐diazasteroid system 8 and the D‐homo compound 9 , respectively.
