- Reactions of isomeric dinitronaphthalic-1,8-anhydrides with alkylamines
-
In the reaction products of 4,5-dinitronaphthalic-1,8-anhydride and of the 3,6-dinitro analogue with 1-butylamine only nitro groups in the former compound undergo reaction. 2,5-Dinitronaphthalic anhydride reacted partially. 4,5-Dibutylaminonaphthalic-N-butyl-1,8-imide was moderately fluorescent by comparison with 4-butylamino-N-butyl-1,8-imide, (FBYR). The ease of nucleophilic replacement of the nitro group in mononitro substituted rings increases with ring size and appears to be related to the stability of a Meisenheimer intermediate.
