An efficient and eco-friendly procedure for the synthesis of 1-amidoalkyl-2-naphthol and tetrahydrobenzo [b]pyran derivatives has been developed through a one-pot three-component condensation of aldehydes with 2-naphthol and amides, or with malononitrile and dimedone in the presence of magnetic nanoparticle supported acidic ionic liquid (AIL@MNP) as a novel heterogeneous catalyst under solvent-free conditions. This new procedure offers several advantages such as short reaction time, excellent yields, operational simplicity and without any tedious work-up for catalyst recovery or product purification. Moreover, the catalyst could be simply separated by an external magnet and reused six times without significant loss of catalytic activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
