The main products from the reaction of the 1-naphthonitrile radical-anion with primary alkyl halides in a liquid ammonia-THF medium are the corresponding 1-alkylnaphthalenes.Their formation is due to the extent of 85-90percent to the entry of the alkyl fragment at the ipso position in relation to the cyano group.For the case of the reaction with 4-methoxyphenyltrimethylammonium perchlorate it was shown that the formation of the alkylnaphthalenes is most probably due to the display of nucleophilic characteristics by the 1-naphthonitrile radical-anion.
