Title Convenient synthesis of naphthopyrans using montmorillonite K-10 as heterogeneous catalyst
Type JournalPaper
Keywords Naphthopyran; propargylic alcohols; naphthol; montmorillonite K-10.
Abstract A simple and mild procedure for the synthesis of different naphthopyrans providing high yields in a short reaction time was reported. The reaction of propargylic alcohols with α- or β-naphthol and dihydroxy naphthalenes in the presence of montmorillonite K-10 was studied. This reaction afforded high yields of the corresponding naphthopyrans. In addition, a number of new phenylene and biphenylen-linked bisnaphthopyrans were synthesized providing excellent yields via the one-pot reaction of bis-propargyl alcohols with β-naphthol.
