A series of N ‐substituted 1,4‐dihydro‐4‐oxo‐1,8‐naphthyridine‐3‐carboxylate esters has been prepared in two steps from ethyl 2‐(2‐chloronicotinoyl)acetate. Treatment of the β‐ketoester with N , N ‐dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal in N , N ‐dimethylformamide (DMF) gave a 95% yield of the 2‐dimethylaminomethylene derivative. Subsequent reaction of this β‐enaminone with primary amines in DMF at 120 o C for 24 h then afforded the target compounds in 47–82% yields by a tandem S N Ar‐addition‐elimination reaction. Synthetic and procedural details as well as a mechanistic rationale are presented.
