Abstract
Novel pentasubstituted 1,8-naphthyridin-2-thione derivatives
9
have been isolated in high yield via a facile one-pot reaction of 3-arylidene-pent-2,4-dione derivatives
3
and cyanothio-acetamide
4
. Plausible mechanistic pathways are presented to account for the unexpected product. The new compounds were established via IR,

H-,

C NMR, and MS analysis.
