Compounds 2a and 2b couple with arene diazonium salts (3a-c) to afford the hydrazo derivatives (4a-f). They react also with hydrazines (5a,b) to afford the pyrazolo[3,4-H][1,6]naphthyridine derivatives (6a-d) and with urea derivatives (7a-c) to afford the pyrimido[4,5-H][1,6]naphthyridine derivatives (8a-f), respectively. %K Fur-2-ylethylidenemalononitrile %K Thien-2-ylethylidenemalononitrile %K Dihydro-pyridines %K Pyrazolo-naphthyridines %K Pyrimido-naphthyridines %U http://www.eurjchem.com/index.php/eurjchem/article/view/104
