A. Canete et al., Synthesis of aminonaphthalene derivatives using the Bucherer reaction under microwave irradiation, SYN COMMUN, 31(14), 2001, pp. 2143-2148
A very simple and efficient method to prepare aminonaphthalene derivatives
in good yield using the Bucherer reaction under microwave irradiation in a
closed vessel is described. A reaction time of 30 min at 150 Watts of micro
wave power was established as the optimum irradiation conditions when appro
ximately 2 g of the initial hydroxynaphthalene was used in the synthesis.
