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.

Application

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

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
