One-pot multicomponent condensation of β-naphthol, aromatic aldehydes, acetamide or urea in the presence of potassium hydrogen sulfate was carried out under solvent-free condition to afford amidoalkyl naphthols in 83%~96% yields.

Amidoalkyl-2-naphthols as synthetic intermediates play an important role in medicinal chemistry due to their remarkable biological and many pharmacological properties. Owing to the versatile biological activities, industrial and synthetic applications of these compounds, introduction of an alternative methodology is urgent in synthetic organic chemistry. Low yield and harsh reaction conditions ...

A simple and efficient copper-catalyzed method for synthesis of naphthols containing multifunctional groups has been developed under mild conditions (room temperature to 60 °C), and it can tolerate various functional groups.

An organocatalytic asymmetric chlorinative dearomatization of naphthols was realized for the first time, providing chiral naphthalenones with a Cl-containing all-substituted stereocenter in excellent yields and enantioselectivity (up to 97% yield and 96% ee). The reaction features mild reaction conditions, good tolerance of diverse functional groups and simple reaction operation.

Enantiopure C2-symmetric iodoarenes based on the rigid all-carbon anti-dimethanoanthracene framework are shown to catalyse the asymmetric oxidative Kita spirolactonisation of propanoic acid-tethered 1-naphthols with significant levels of asymmetric induction of up to 67% ee.

Benzene, naphthalene, and 1- and 2-naphthol were measured in urine samples obtained from 322 U.S. Air Force personnel categorized a priori as likely to have low, moderate, or high exposure to jet fuel [jet propulsion fuel-8 (JP-8)]. In postexposure samples, levels of these analytes in the high-exposure group were 3- to 29-fold greater than in the low-exposure group and 2- to 12-fold greater tha...

The objective of the study is to assess the external and internal exposures to aromatic hydrocarbons in the tar and oil naphthalene distillation processes at a coke plant. 69 workers engaged as operators in tar and oil naphthalene distillation processes and 25 non-exposed subjects were examined. Personal analyses of the benzene, toluene, xylene isomers, ethylbenzene, naphthalene, indan, indene ...
