Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

A simple and efficient approach has been developed for the synthesis of previously inaccessible 6-arylbenzo[c][1,7]naphthyridin-4(3H)-ones, which is based on the interaction of 3-amino-6-methyl-4-arylpyridin-2(1H)-ones and aromatic aldehydes in a strong acidic media (trifluoroacetic, phosphorous or polyphosphorous acids) under heating. The initial imine derivatives undergo Pictet–Spengler condensation to form intermediate 6-aryl-5,6-dihydrobenzo[c]-1,7-naphthyridin-4(3H)-ones, which are oxidized by atmospheric oxygen to give 3-amino-6-methyl-4-arylpyridin-2(1H)-ones as the final products.
