ORGANIC CHEMISTRY OF SUPEROXIDE. II OXIDATION OF β-NAPHTHYLAMINE - POSSIBLE INVOLVEMENT OF THE HYDROXYL RADICAL

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)88122-8

Of a selection of aromatic monoamines examined only β-naphthylamine was oxidized by potassium superoxide and formed dibenzophenazine, dibenzophenazine and 1-hydroxy-2,2'-azonaphthalene, the latter product indicating that the hydroxyl radical may be involved in superoxide oxidations.
