Amberlite IR-120 catalyzed, microwave-assisted rapid synthesis of 1-amidoalkyl-2-naphthols

An expeditious synthesis of 1-amidoalkyl-2-naphthols by the condensation of 2-naphthole with various arylaldehydes and acetamide is described. This greener protocol is catalyzed by amberlite IR-120, and proceeds efficiently in the absence of any organic solvent under microwave irradiation within 3–6 min

Simple and improved regioselective brominations of aromatic compounds using N-benzyl-N,N-dimethylanilinium peroxodisulfate in the presence of potassium bromide under mild reactions conditions

A simple, efficient, and mild method for the selective bromination of some activated aromatic compounds using N-benzyl-N,N-dimethylanilinium peroxodisulfate in the presence of potassium bromide in non-aqueous solution is reported. The results obtained revealed good to excellent selectivity between the ortho and para positions of phenols and methoxyarenes

An efficient one-pot synthesis of highly substituted furans catalyzed by N-bromosuccinimide

N-Bromosuccinimide was found to efficiently catalyze the synthesis of highly functionalized, tetra-substituted furan derivatives in the one-pot reactions of but-2-ene-1,4-diones and acetoacetate esters in the presence of i-PrOH as solvent under mild and neutral conditions at 80–90 °C for 3–7 h in high yields (87–94 %)
