Abstract
Aminoalkylnaphthols possess several biological and catalytic activities. A methodology has been developed for the multicomponent one-pot synthesis of aminoalkylnaphthols in dichloromethane under catalyst-free conditions at room temperature. The present approach possesses several advantages such as excellent yields, quick reaction time, mild reaction conditions, and very easy purification processes. Thirteen new compounds in addition to six known compounds have been synthesized by this methodology.
