Preparation and varied thermal and photolytic reactions of 2-diazo-5,6-(disubstituted)acenaphthenones (11a-d) and 2-diazo-3,8- dimethoxyacenaphthenone (12) are reported. Alcohols react thermally and photolytically with 11a-c with losses of N2 to yield 2-alkoxynaphthenones (24a,b and 47a,b) and acenaphthenones (25 and 48a,b). Aniline and diphenylamine are converted by 11a-c at 180°C to acenaph[1,2-6]indoles (29a,b and 53a,b). Thermolyses of 11a-c at ～450°C (0.15 mmHg) yield reduction products 25 and 48a,b, respectively. Wolff rearrangements to 1,8-naphthyleneketenes (15a-d) and/or their derivatives are not observed in the above experiments. Oxygen converts 11a-c thermally to acenaphthenequinones (19a-c) and/or 1,8-naphthalic anhydrides. Insertion, addition, substitution, and/or isomerization reactions occur upon irradiation of 2-diazoacenaphthenones in cyclohexane, benzene, and tetrahydrofuran. Photolysis of 11d in benzene in the presence of O2 yields the insertion-oxidation product 2-hydroxy-5,6-dinitro-2-phenylacenaphthenone (60). Photolyses of 11a-c in nitriles result in N2 evolution and dipolar cycloaddition to give acenaph[1,2-d]oxazoles (41 and 61a,b). Acetylenes undergo thermal and photolytic cycloaddition/1,5-sigmatropic rearrangement reactions with 11a-d with N2 retention to give pyrazolo[5,1-a]quinolin-7-ones (69f-j). 2-Diazoacenaphthenones 1a and 11a react thermally and photolytically with electronegatively-substituted olefins with N2 expulsion to yield (E)- and (Z)-2-oxospiro[acenaphthylene-1(2H),1′cyclopropanes] 73a-c and 74a-c, respectively. The mechanisms of the reactions of la, 11a-d, and 12 reported are discussed.

Six new 1,8-diarylnaphthalenes, each having closely held parallel aromatic rings, were synthesized by a Kharash-type Grignard cross-coupling of arylmagnesium iodide and 1,8-diiodonaphthalene in the presence of N,N'-bis(1-methyl-3-oxobutylidene)ethylenediaminatonickel(II) as a catalyst.Among them, 1,8-di(1-naphthyl)naphthalene was obtained as cis and trans rotamers, caused by the restricted rotation at the 1,8-position.Interconversion between the rotamers on heating above their melting points was confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry.The proton magnetic resonance spectral studies of the 1,8-diarylnaphthalenes indicated the presence of a face-to-face arrangement of aromatic rings in the peri-position.Two new 8,8'-diaryl-1,1'-binaphthyls, each having two sets of closely held parallel aromatic rings, were isolated as minor coupling products.Trans-trans conformations were proposed for them on the basis of their thermal behavior.Several nickel(II) complexes were found to be effective catalysts for preparative Grignard cross-coupling reaction involving closely crowded geometry.
