T.S.R.Prasanna, K.Mohana Raju

Abstract

An atom- efficient, environmentally benign and mild condition for the synthesis of amidoalkyl naphthols catalysed by substoichiometric amount of LiBr is described. Short reaction time, solvent free condition, simplicity of isolation and safe catalyst are the features.
