[ 1 ] - Solvent Free Multi-component Synthesis of Amidoalkylnaphthols Using Phenylphosphinic Acid as an Organocatalyst

One pot solvent less synthesis of amidoalkylnaphthol derivatives via reaction of aldehydes, 2-naphthol and acetamide/urea in the presence of phenylphosphinic acid is  described. This methodology provides a simple synthetic route to amidoalkylnaphthols in good to high yields.
