Abstract

A variety of 2-arylnaphtho[1,2-d]oxazole derivatives were efficiently synthesized in moderate to high yields by the reaction of aromatic aldehydes with 1-amino-2-naphthol derivatives in the presence of triethylamine in refluxing ethanol in air. Seven new 2-arylnaphtho[1,2-d]oxazole derivatives were obtained and characterized by the spectral data and elemental analysis. In addition, the X-ray crystal structures of 2-[4-(N,N-dimethylamino)phenyl]naphtho[1,2-d] oxzole (3d) and 1,1′-bis(naphtho[1,2-d]oxazol-2-yl)ferrocene (3n) have been determined.
