Participants

Reaction Steps

To a round bottom flask containing 1.00 g (6.3 mmol) 5-amino-naphthalene-2-ol in 10 mL CH2Cl2, was added 2.61 g (0.0189 mmol) K2CO3, followed by 1.46 mL (0.0126 mmol) benzolyl chloride. The solution mixture was stirred under inert atmosphere until completion. After stirring for 18 h, water was added into the mixture and diluted with CH2Cl2. The organics were separated by sep. funnel, while extracting the organics 3× with CH2Cl2. The organic layers were combined, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in-vacuo. The crude was purified by crystallization in CH2Cl2/Hexanes. A gray colored powder was collected, which was titled compound. MS (ESI pos. ion) m/z: 264 (M+H)
