Our interest in the reactivity of nitronaphthyridines towards nucleophilic agents induced us to study the reaction of methylamination of 3-nitro-1, 5-naphthyridine and some of its 2- substituted derivatives. In a previous paper it has been reported that 3-nitro-1, 5- naphthyridines, undergo amination using liquid ammonium and potassium permanganate as reagents in moderate yield [1]. The oxidative amination of 3-nitro-1, 5-naphthyridines ...
