We have demonestrated a mild and efficient eco-friendly tandem synthesis of amidoalkyl naphthols using lactic acid as a novel organoacid green promoter, which uses neither harsh conditions nor the use of hazardous or toxicant catalysts and reagents. This methodology has a number of advantages including: short reaction times, high yield, use of non-toxic and inexpensive catalyst, elimination of solvent and easy work-up.
