This bachelor's thesis presents the synthesis of three distinct 2-naphthylamines through a two-stage approach. The first stage encompassed the preparation of a ketone from 6-bromo-2-naphthol and 2-hydroxyethyl vinyl ether via Heck reaction. The palladium(0) complex was formed in situ and acted as the catalyst. In the second stage, the hydroxil group of 1-(6-hydroxynaphthalen-2-yl)ethan-1-on was substituted with a selected secondary amine (dimethylamine, piperidine or pyrrolidine) via Bucherer reaction. The reaction was performed in an autoclave. All three syntheses were carried out successfully.
