The title compound, C(26)H(24)O(3), was synthesized via the coupling of 2-methoxy-benzaldehyde, 2-naphthol and 5,5-dimethyl-cyclo-hexane-1,3-dione. The pyran ring adopts a boat conformation, while the cyclo-hexenone ring is in an envelope conformation. The 2-methoxy-phenyl ring is almost perpendic-ular to the plane through the four C atoms of the pyran ring [dihedral angle = 88.76 (9)°].

A room-temperature phosphorimetric (RTP) study of the inclusion process between 1- and 2-naphthol, beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) and 3-bromo-1-propanol as heavy atom pertuber has been performed. Experimental conditions were optimized for the formation of trimolecular complexes with lifetimes of 10.82 and 9.41 ms for 1- and 2-naphthol, respectively. A synchronous-derivative room-temperature phosph...

To develop a new facile protocol for the synthesis of 2'-aminobenzothiazolo-arylmethyl-2-naphthol derivatives, N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) was used as an efficient catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of 2'-aminobenzothiazolo-arylmethyl-2-naphthols in excellent yields from β -naphthol (1 mmol), aromatic aldehydes (1 mmol), and 2-aminobenzothiazole (1 mmol) at 60°C under solvent-free conditions.

The study was conducted to evaluate the status of worker exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) through the measurement of urinary metabolites such as 1-hydroxypyrene (OHP) and 2-naphthol. A survey using a questionnaire involving 326 workers with measurement of urinary metabolites of 1-OHP and 2-naphthol was conducted. The differences in urinary 1-OHP and 2-naphthol concentrations,...

Fluorescence probes based on excited state proton transfer (ESPT) have been recently developed for microheterogeneous media. The ESPT behaviour of a series of substituted naphthols (4-chl oro-1-naphthol, 5-amino-1-naphthol , 4-methoxy1-naphthol, 7-methoxy-2-naphthol , 3-amino-2-naphthol, 6-bromo-2naphthol and 1-bromo-2-naphthol) is investigated in liposomes, using steady state and time resolved...

We present semiempirical AM1 calculations for the ground and excited state of 2-naphthol and some of its cyano derivatives in the gas phase. Following photoexcitation, the Mulliken electron density on the oxygen diminishes slightly for the acid and more conspicuously for the anionic conjugated base. This agrees with the measured solvatochromic parameters for 2-naphthol. In both electronic state...

The title compound, C(25)H(21)ClO(2), was synthesized via the three-component coupling of 4-chloro-benzaldehyde, 2-naphthol and 5,5-dimethyl-cyclo-hexane-1,3-dione. The pyran ring adopts a boat conformation, while the cyclo-hexenone ring is in an envelope conformation. The 4-chloro-phenyl ring is almost perpendicular to the pyran ring [dihedral angle = 87.39 (1)°]. In the crystal, mol-ecules ar...

We investigate the OH stretch vibrational frequency shifts of a prototype photoacid, 2-naphthol (2N), when dissolved in solvents of low polarity. We combine femtosecond mid-infrared spectroscopy and a theoretical model based on the Pullin-van der Zwan-Hynes perturbative approach to explore vibrational solvatochromic effects in the ground S(0) and the first electronically excited (1)L(b) states....
