When 1-naphthyl azide (also known as 1-azidonaphthalene) is exposed to light of the appropriate wavelength, it undergoes a photochemical reaction known as the photochemical nitrene insertion reaction. This reaction involves the cleavage of the nitrogen-nitrogen (N-N) bond in the azide group, leading to the formation of a reactive nitrene intermediate. The nitrene intermediate can subsequently insert into various chemical bonds, leading to the formation of new products.
