“…[5,6] The importance of amidoalkyl naphthols for their synthesis has attracted renewed attention and various improved procedures have been reported. Several alternative and efficient methods have been developed for the synthesis of amidoalkylnaphthol derivatives by multi component reaction of β-naphthol, aldehyde and amide in the presence of different catalysts such as Montmorillonite K10clay, [7] Ce(SO 4 ) 2 , [8] K 5 CoW 12 O 40 .3H 2 O, [9] p-TSA, [10] Sulfamic acid/ultrasound, [11] Ionic liquids, [12] Indion-130, [13] Al(H 2 PO 4 ) 3 , [14] F e (HSO 4 ) 3, [15] Yb(OTf) 3 , [16] W e tcyanuric chloride, [17] A l 2 O 3 -HClO 4 , [18] S i lica chloride (SiO 2 -Cl)/ultrasound, [19] indium(III)chloride, [20] S r (OTf) 2 , [21] P 2 O 5 , [22] NaHSO 4 .SiO 2, [23] H 4 SiW 12 O 40 , [24] Zeolite H-BEA, [25] N,N,N',N'-Tetrabromobenzene-1,3-disulfonamide(TBBD), [26] KHSO 4, [27] tritylchloride [28] Bismuth(III) nitrate pentahydrate, [29] H 3 BO 3, [30] M g (ClO 4 ) 2, [31] MNPs-SO 3 H, [32] and Succinic acid. [33] In which some of often involves the use of expensive reagents, hazard solvents and tedious workup.…”
