  ABSTRACT: An efficient and direct procedure for the synthesis of amidoalkylnaphthol derivatives employing a multi-component and one-pot condensation reaction of 2-naphthol, aromatic aldehyde and ace-tonitrile in the presence of tetrachlorosilane (TCS). A binary reagent from (TCS)/ZnCl2 was used upon applying benzonitrile.
