Abstract
Abstract An atom-efficient and environment-friendly approach for the synthesis of amidoalkyl naphthols ( 4a – x ) via multicomponent one-pot reaction of 2-naphthol ( 1 ), aromatic aldehyde ( 2 ) and amide ( 3 ) catalyzed by P 2 O 5 has been developed. The present approach offers several advantages such as reduced reaction times, moderate temperature, higher yields, eco-friendly reaction condition, easy purification and economic availability of the catalyst.
