The use of nanomaterials as heterogeneous catalysts has attracted a lot of attention due to its economic, environmental, structural features and high levels of catalytic activity.1-3 Solid acid catalysts play a prominent role in organic synthesis under heterogeneous conditions.4 Herein, we report the synthesis of amidoalkyl napthols (4) from the reaction between B-naphthol (1), aromatic aldehyde (2) and acetamide (3) in the presence of KCC-1/SA in solvent-free conditions (Fig.1). The KCC-1/SA NPs were thoroughly characterized by using SEM and FT-IR. The results showed that the catalyst has a high activity, is environmentally friendly, heterogeneous and easy to recover from the reaction mixture without losing its catalytic activity.
