Three-component coupling of 2-naphthol, aldehydes, and urea has been accomplished in the presence of FeCl3 under microwave irradiation and solvent-free conditions to afford the corresponding synthesis of 1-phenyl-1, 2-dihydro-3H-naphtho[1,2-e][1,3]oxazin-3-onederivatives in excellent yields. It is a promising catalyst for the microwave-assisted reaction providing high product yield in a short period.
