Substitution of the chlorine at position 1 by a phenyl residue occurs readily in the reaction of 1-chloro- and 1,4-dichloro-2-naphthols with benzene in the presence of aluminum chloride and hydrogen chloride. 4-Chloro-2-naphthol reacts with considerably great difficulty, giving a small yield of 4-phenyl-2-naphthol.The possibility of using a mixture of 4- and 2-chloro-1-naphthols for the production of 3-phenyl-1-naphthol was demonstrated.The possible reaction paths are discussed.
