Amidoalkyl Naphthols: Trifluoroacetic Acid (TFA) Catalyzed One-Pot, Multi-Component Synthesis

“…1-Naphthaleneacetic acid and 2naphthoxyacetic acid have been reported to act as plant-growth regulators [6,7] [20], Zinc benzenesulfonate [21], PPA-SiO 2 [22], FeCl 3 .SiO 2 [23], Ce(SO 4 ) 2 [24] and Oxalic acid [25] have been reported. However, some of the reported methods suffer from disadvantages such as prolonged reaction time, higher reaction temperature (>100 o C), low product yields, use of toxic and corrosive solvents, and unconventional methodologies such as microwave or ultrasonic irradiation.…”

Zinc Benzenesulfonate–Promoted Eco-Friendly and Efficient Synthesis of 1-Amidoalkyl-2-naphthols

“…1-Naphthaleneacetic acid and 2-naphthoxyacetic acid have been reported to act as plant-growth regulators. [2,3] Because of the importance of the title compounds, clean synthetic methods for them have gained considerable attention.…”

Strontium(II) Triflate Catalysed Condensation of β-Naphthol, Aldehyde and Urea or Amides: A Facile Synthesis of Amidoalkyl Naphthols

“…Naphthalene derivatives have attracted considerable interest because of their pharmaceutical and agricultural activities. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] For example, naphazoline and pronethalol have been reported to act as cardiovascular agents. 6 1-naphthaleneacetic acid and 2-naphthoxyacetic acid have been reported to act as plant growth regulators.…”

“…6 1-naphthaleneacetic acid and 2-naphthoxyacetic acid have been reported to act as plant growth regulators. 7,8 Whilst, 2-naphthol and its derivatatives have also been reported as bactericides 9 and antioxidants. 10 Furthermore, many chiral amidoalkyl phenols have been reported as excellent chelating agents for metal-catalysed asymmetric synthesis.…”
