methides (o-QMs). The same o-QMs, generated in situ,
have been reacted with amide to form amidoalkyl
naphthol derivatives. A reasonable explanation for this
result can be given by considering the nucleophilic
addition to o-QMs intermediate favorable via conjugate
addition on the a,b-unsaturated carbonyl group and finally
this intermediate will aromatize to produce the final
aromatic compound [30].
4.3. Recycling of [2-MPyH]OTf as an ionic liquid catalyst
In case of a hydrophilic ionic liquid, i.e., [2-MPyH]OTf,
the reaction mixture was diluted water and extracted with
CH2Cl2 (2 * 10 mL). The combined organic extracts were
washed with water, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4,
concentrated under vacuum and the resulting product
was purified either by recrystallization to afford pure
product. The ionic liquid can be recovered either by
extracting the aqueous phase with CH2Cl2 or by evaporat-
ing the aqueous layer under vacuum. The ionic liquid thus
obtained was further dried at 60 8C under reduced pressure
for use in subsequent runs.
3. Conclusion
In summary, this article describes a green, simple and
efficient protocol for the synthesis of amidoalkyl naphthol
derivatives by the reaction of between aldehyde, 2-naphtol
and amide in the presence of [2-MPyH]OTf. The notable
merits of this protocol are cleaner reaction conditions,
shorter time reaction, improved yields and simple
experimental and work-up procedure. Also, the catalysts
were able to be reused easily for five-time experiments
with a small decrease in the catalytic activity of the
recovered catalyst.

Fluka, and were used without further purification. Melting
points were obtained on a Thermo Scientific apparatus and
were not corrected. IR spectra were recorded on a FT-IR
Bruker (WQF-510) spectrometer. 1H and 13C NMR spectra
were recorded on a Bruker DRX-400 AVANCE spectrometer
