N2  - Some comparisons between four series of benzo [b][1,x] naphthyridines (x=5-8) have been made. Bromination in acetic acid gave almost exclusive reaction &#946; to the nitrogen in the outer pyrido ring. Basic silver oxide oxidation of the centre ring occurred in the order x = 6 > 8 > 7 > 5. Methylation occurred on the pyrido nitrogen, the relative nucleophilicities paralleling those of the corresponding naphthyridines . One methiodide (x = 6) underwent an interesting dimerization in solution and the structure of the product was determined by X-ray crystallography.
