Application

1,8-Dimethylnaphthalene has been used in the preparation of 1,4-endoperoxides via dyesensitized photo-oxygenation reaction.

General description

Mechanism of NO(2)(+) nitration of 1,8-dimethylnaphthalene has beeen investigated. Photolysis of the 1,8-dimethylnaphthalene/tetranitromethane charge-transfer complex affords the triad of 1,8-dimethylnaphthalene radical cation, nitrogen dioxide and trinitromethanide ion.

The nitration of methylnaphthalenes with NO(2)BF(4) and NOBF(4) was examined in order to shed light on the controversial aromatic nitration mechanism, electrophilic vs charge-transfer process. The NO(2)(+) nitration of 1,8-dimethylnaphthalene showed a drastic regioselectivity change depending on the reaction temperature
