Abstract

The literature on the syntheses of amido-, carbamido- and carbamatoalkylnaphthol derivatives is reviewed. With regard to the appreciable number of publications (over 110) that have appeared in the past 6 years, the various reactions are classified according to the types of nitrogen sources used (nitriles, amides, thioamide, ureas, thioureas or carbamates).

Keywords: Amidoalkylnaphthols, carbamatoalkylnaphthols, carbamidoalkylnaphthols, Mannich reaction, thioamidoalkylnaphthols, thiocarbamidoalkylnaphthols.
