An Efficient Strategy for the Synthesis of Naphtho[2,3-b][1,6]naphthyridines Promoted by Acetic Acid
We are grateful for financial support from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (21776260) and the Key Research and Development Project of Zhejiang Province (2021C01079) for this research work.

Abstract
A three-component domino reaction for the synthesis of naphtho[2,3-b][1,6]naphthyridine derivatives has been established. Such strategy exhibited excellent substrate scope including various enaminones and aldehydes that afforded a series of multifunctionalized naphtho[2,3-b][1,6]naphthyridine derivatives with 70–86% yields. The advantages of bond-forming efficiency, accessibility of starting materials, and water as sole byproducts provide invaluable access to biological 1,6-naphthyridines.
