ABSTRACT An efficient one-potfour-component condensation of naphthols with formaldehyde, carbon disulfide and secondary amines in water is described for the synthesis of 1-(dithiocarbamatomethyl)-2-naphthols and 2-(dithiocarbamatomethyl)-1-naphthols. By using naphthalene-2,3-diol in this protocol, the corresponding bis(dithiocarbamates) were obtained in high yields via a one-pot pseudo seven-component
