As we can see, when the molar ratio of [PhCOOH]/[Al] was 0.1, the catalytic activity was significantly increased compared with that of the non-modifier system, which was similar to the results when phenol and naphthol were used with the same dosage.
As per our interest to develop better protocols for the synthesis of biologically active heterocyclic molecules, we would like to report the synthesis of a series of new 3,4-dihydro-3-substituted-2H-naphtho[2,1-e][1,3] oxazine derivatives using 2 naphthol, formalin and various anilines as substrates in presence of Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate catalyst.

As shown in Figure 5, the lowest energy docked conformation for 1:1 complex of CB7/SY was obtained, which indicated that the naphthol part of the SY molecule was inserted into the cavity of the CB7 host molecule, while the benzene sulfonic acid group of the SY molecule was located at the outside of the CB7 host.
The precise study of organic materials in cultural heritage works was investigated on painting cross sections since the early 1970s using staining methods with organic dyes such as naphthol blue black [2] for the specific detection of proteins, allowing an in situ microcharacterization of egg-based or collagen-based materials.
Briefly, the MII oocytes were placed in a solution of 15 mg N-Phenyl-p-phenylene diamine (p-aminodiphenylamine), 15 mg naphthol AS-LG 0.1 ml ethanol 100%, 50 ml tris-HCl buffer (pH=7.2-7.4) and BSA (5 mg/ml) after washing in phosphate-buffered saline supplemented with 5% BSA and then, incubated at 37 [degrees]C for 60 min.
Later, these authors [13] compared different dyes to analyze the sensitivity of LAMP assay, including hydroxy naphthol blue (HNB), calcein, and SYBR Green: the first two being added before the reaction and the last one after the reaction.
([+ or -])-Camphor-10-sulfonic acid (CSA) is an effective, safe, water-soluble, and reusable organocatalyst for various organic reactions, for instance, Friedel-Crafts reactions [29], synthesis of dioxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane and [beta]-amino naphthol compounds [30, 31], and synthesis of spirocyclic compounds [32], and is also frequently used in the optical resolution of amines [33].
