A flexible and efficient three-component reaction has been established for the synthesis of bioactive 1,6-naphthyridine-2,5-diones by using low-cost and readily accessible aminopyridinones, aromatic aldehydes, and Meldrum’s acid as starting materials. The main advantage of this synthetic method is that the yields of the resulting 1,6-naphthyridine-2,5-dione derivatives under ultrasound irradiation in water with acetic acid as catalyst are higher than those from the classical-heating method. The probable reaction mechanism indicates that the process involves a Knoevenagel condensation, Michael addition, and cyclization sequence.
