An effective, practical, and simple approach toward the preparation of highly-substituted 6-arylbenzo[4, 5]imidazo[1,2-a][1,8]naphthyridin-10-ols 6(a-h) by the reaction of 3-aryl-1,8-naphthyridin-2-amines 3(a-h) with benzoquinone 4 in acid catalyzed cyclization under solid-state method, as well as conventional conditions, has been described. The products are obtained in good yields and in a solid of high purity. The major advantages of solid states are easy workup, low costs, short reaction time, good efficacy, and environment-friendly procedure. The newly synthesized compounds were thoroughly characterized using spectral data and elemental analyses. All compounds were screened for their biological evaluation. Predominantly 6b and 6c compounds showed the highest antibacterial activity. Moreover, all the synthesized compounds were docked against topoisomerase II DNA gyrase enzyme. Graphical Abstract

The Buchwald–Hartwig amination reaction between 2-chloro-3-aryl-1,8-naphthyridines and 2-(4-aminophenyl)-1 H-benzo[ de]isoquinoline-1,3(2 H)-dione in the presence of the catalytic system Pd(PPh3)4...

An exceedingly and highly efficient procedure has been described for the synthesis of substituted N‐3‐diaryl‐1,8‐naphthyridin‐2‐amines by the reaction of 2‐chloro‐3‐aryl‐1,8‐naphthyridines with various anilines in the presence of N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone and K₂CO₃ under thermal green solvent‐free conditions. The significant features of this green reaction include very good yields in purity, simple experimental, short reaction time, easy workability, and avoidance of toxic solvents. All synthesized compounds have been evaluated for their antibacterial activity.
