Water-Solvent Method for the Synthesis of N-Substituted and N-,4-Disubstituted 1,8-Naphthalimides under Microwave Irradiation

Abstract

A preparation of a series of N-and N-,4-substituted 1,8-naphthalimides using water as solvent under microwave irradiation, which proceeded via efficient and green reaction of 1,8-naphthalic anhydride derivatives with different amines, is described.
