1,3,5-Trisaryl-2,4-diazapenta-1,4-dienes 2a–2f were prepared
according to the known method [20]. 1,3-diarylnaphthoxazines
3a–3j were obtained by interaction of 2-naphthols 1 with 1,3,5-
trisaryl-2,4-diazapenta-1,4-dienes 2 following the method [3].

1-(a-Benzylidenaminobenzyl)-2-methoxynaphthaline (5). The
compound was obtained by the method described in [12] with our
modifications. 1,3-diphenylnaphthoxazine (3c, 10.12 g, 0.03 mole)
was dissolved in mixture of dry dioxane (60 mL) and dry acetone
(80 mL) under heating till 50ꢀC. The solution was cooled to 0ꢀC,
and powdered NaOH (1.8 g, 0.045 mole) was added. Afterwards,
methyl iodide (11.45 g, 0.08 mole) was added dropwise at 0ꢀC.
After the addition of methyl iodide, the reaction mixture was stirred
at room temperature for 8 h. The next day, the precipitate of NaI
was filtered off and washed with ethyl acetate (50 mL ꢄ 2), and the
filtrate was dried over Na2SO4 and combined with mother liquor.
Solvents were removed in vacuo, and resulting dense residue was
extracted by absolute ethyl alcohol (80 mL) at 60ꢀC. The obtained
precipitate was separated and extracted with diethyl ether. The
ether extract was separated, and on cooling, it dropped out of the
crystalline product 5. The latter was filtered off. Extraction was
repeated until complete isolation of the product to give 6.2 g (59%)
of 5. Analytically pure sample was obtained by recrystallization

mined by integration of proton signals in Н NMR spectra and
given in Table 1. 1-(a-Aminobenzyl)-naphthol-2 was prepared by
the hydrolysis of 1,3-diphenylnaphthoxazine 3с following the method
[21]. Its condensation with a series of substituted benzaldehydes
(p-nitro-, p-bromo-, p-methoxy- and p-dimethylamino- derivatives)
gave oxazines 4а–4d [4,5]. Compounds (S)-(+)-3с and (S)-(+)-4а
were obtained following the method [12].
