Description
Summary:Lewis acids catalyzed highly efficient one‐pot three component coupling of β‐naphthol, benzaldehydes and urea to produce 1‐aryl‐1,2‐dihydro‐naphtho[1,2‐e][1,3]oxazin‐3‐one derivatives under solvent free conditions is described. Mechanistic studies confirmed that product formation is possible only at very high temperature (140–150°C) and at lower temperature (90–100°C) formation of 14‐aryl‐14H‐dibenzo(a,j)xanthenes was observed. Among the nine Lewis acids screened, iodine, P2O5 and Yb(OTf)3 are found to be most effective catalyst for this multicomponent reaction.
