Abstract
Abstract Pyridinium dicationic salt containing transition metal complex anion (1,1′-hexane-1,6-diylbis (3-methylpyridinium) tetrachlorocobaltate (II) (C 6 (Mpy) 2 ] [CoCl 4 ] 2 − )) was used as a catalyst for the synthesis of 1-amidoalkyl-2-naphthols under solvent free conditions. The ionic liquid showed excellent catalytic performance. They could be recycled and reused for five times without much loss in its activity.
