title: Benzannulation from alkyne without metallic catalysts at room temperature to 100 degrees C.
abstract: An efficient, novel metal-catalyst-free aminobenzannulation of 2-(prop-2-ynyl)(oxo)benzenes 1 with various dialkylamines 2 afforded a variety of 2-aminonaphthalenes 3 in good to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions at room temperature to 100 degrees C (at most).
