Abstract

1,2-Dihydro-1-arylnaphtho[1,2-e][1,3]oxazine-3-one derivatives were synthesized in moderate to high yields using a ­novel, facile, and one-pot condensation of β-naphthol, aromatic ­aldehydes and urea under microwave-assisted and thermal solvent-free conditions.

Key words

naphthoxazinone - microwave - solvent-free - naphthol - multi-component

Typical procedure for the preparation of 1,2-dihydro-1-phenylnaphtho[1,2- e ][1,3]oxazine-3-one (4a) under thermal solvent-free conditions: A mixture of β-naphthol (1 mmol), benzaldehyde (1 mmol), urea (1.5 mmol) and PTSA (0.3 mmol) was finely mixed together. The reaction mixture was placed in a screw-capped vial and heated at 160 °C for 1.5 h. After cooling, the reaction mixture was washed with H2O and then recrystallized from EtOAc-hexane (1:3) to afford the pure product 4a as a white powder (58%).

Typical procedure under microwave-assisted conditions: A mixture of β-naphthol (1 mmol), benzaldehyde (1 mmol) and urea (1.5 mmol) were finely mixed together. The reaction mixture was placed in a screw-capped vial and irradiated for 6 min with a power of 900 W. After cooling, the reaction mixture was washed with H2O and then recrystallized from EtOAc-hexane (1:3) to afford the pure product 4a (81%); mp 218-220 °C; IR (KBr): 3295, 1730, 1517 cm-1; 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d 6): δ = 6.19 (d, J = 2.1 Hz, 1 H, CH), 7.24-8.00 (m, 11 H, Ar-H), 8.87 (br s, 1 H, NH); 13C NMR (75 MHz, DMSO-d 6): δ = 54.20, 114.50, 117.32, 123.57, 125.54, 127.42, 127.81, 128.47, 129.08, 129.32, 129.41, 130.68, 130.86, 143.34, 147.85, 149.77; MS (ESI): m/z (%) = 275 (7) [M+], 231 (100), 202 (35), 51 (24).
