In this study a series of eight 1-[(2-chlorophenyl)carbamoyl]naphthalen-2-yl N‑alkylcarbamates was prepared and characterized. The discussed compounds were prepared by microwave-assisted and conventional synthesis. The compounds were tested for their activity related to inhibition of photosynthetic electron transport (PET) in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) chloroplasts. The PET-inhibiting activity of the compounds was moderate; the highest activity within the series of compounds was observed for 1-[(2-chlorophenyl)carbamoyl]naphthalen-2-yl N-propylcarbamate, and the compounds were found to inhibit PET in photosystem II.
