Microwave Assisted Envirocat EPZ-10 Catalyzed Multi-component Synthesis of 1-Amidoalkyl-2-naphthols

Abstract

Microwave assisted catalytic efficiency of Envirocat EPZ-10 was explored in solvent free green synthesis of 1-amidoalkyl-2-naphthols by the reaction of aldehyde, 2-naphthol and acetamide. The products formed were characterized by spectroscopic methods such as NMR, IR and mass spectroscopy. The merits of developed synthetic method are use of Envirocat EPZ-10 as eco-friendly, reusable and heterogeneous catalysts, solvent-free reaction, shorter reaction time and easy isolation of product.
