A three-component novel synthesis of 1-carbamato-alkyl-2-naphthol derivatives

A new one-pot, efficient three-component condensation of benzaldehydes, 2-naphthol, and carbamates in the presence of silica supported sodium hydrogen sulfate as an effective heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of novel 1-carbamato-alkyl-2-naphthol derivatives under solvent-free conditions is described. The present methodology offers several advantages, such as high yields, short reaction times, and very easy workup. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
