Claim 16:
17. A method of making the 1,3-bis(naphthalen-2-yloxy)propan-2-one compound of claim 1, the method comprising:
treating 2-((2naphthyloxy)methyl)oxirane with 2-naphthol in a presence of triethylamine as a catalyst to obtain a first crude product;
purifying the first crude product by recrystallization using absolute ethyl alcohol to obtain 1,3-bis(naphthalen-2-yloxy)propan-2-ol;
adding the 1,3-bis(naphthalen-2-yloxy)propan-2-ol to a sodium ethoxide solution and benzyl chloride in absolute ethanol with refluxing to obtain a second crude product;
purifying the second crude product by filtering and recrystallization from methanol and chloroform 1:1; and
obtaining the 1,3-bis(naphthalen-2-yloxy)propan-2-one compound.
