Abstract

[MeC(OH)2]+ClO4 - as a super acidic ionic liquid is found to be a new and highly efficient catalyst in the synthesis of amidoalkyl naphthols via three-component condensation of β-naphthol and aldehydes with nitriles, amides, or carbamates.

Key words

multicomponent reactions - amidoalkyl naphthols - ionic liquids - super acids

General Procedure for the [MeC(OH) 2 ] + ClO 4 - -Catalyzed Synthesis of Amidoalkyl Naphthols
A mixture of an aldehyde (1 mmol), β-naphthol (1 mmol) with amide, nitrile, urea, or carbamate (1 mmol) in the presence of [MeC(OH)2]+ClO4 - (1 mol%) was stirred in EtOAc (1 mL) at r.t. (or at 80 ˚C under solvent-free conditions) for the given times. After completion of the reaction (TLC monitoring), H2O was added, and the precipitate was filtered off to give the corresponding amidoalkyl naphthols. Most of the products were known and characterized by comparison of their melting points and spectral data with those reported in the literature without further purification. In some cases the products were recrystallized from EtOH-H2O (60:40).
