Abstract

The microwave promoted alkylation of 1-and 2-naphthols with benzyl, butyl, ethyl and isopropyl halides in the presence of an alkali carbonate may result in O-and C-alkylated products. The alkylations were O-selective in the presence of K2CO3 in acetonitrile as the solvent and in the absence of phase transfer catalyst. The alkylations utilizing butyl and ethyl halides were also O-selective in solventless accomplishment and in the presence of ...
