- SUBSTITUTION OF HYDROGEN ATOM IN THE AROMATIC RING BY A HYDROXY GROUP IN THE REACTION OF NITRONAPHTHALENES WITH POTASSIUM SUPEROXIDE
-
The reaction of 1-nitro and 1,5- and 1,8-dinitronaphthalenes with potassium superoxide and oxygen in liquid ammonia or diglyme leads to the formation of mono- and dinitronaphthols respectively, corresponding to substitution of a hydrogen atom by a hydroxy group at the ortho and para positions in relation to the nitro group.In the reaction of the product from reduction of the nitronaphthalene by an equimolar amount of metallic potassium with oxygen 1,2- and 1,4-naphthoquinone oximes were obtained in addition to the nitronaphthols.
