ChemInform Abstract: Oxidation of 1-Naphthols by Lead Tetraacetate in Acetic Acid.
Abstract
Pb(OAc)4 oxidation of the naphthol (Ia) gives the acetoxy derivative (Ib) and the diacetoxynaphthalenone (II) as main products.
ChemInform Abstract
Pb(OAc)4 oxidation of the naphthol (Ia) gives the acetoxy derivative (Ib) and the diacetoxynaphthalenone (II) as main products. The products (VI)-(VIII) resulting from oxidation of (Ic) show an unusual concentration dependence. Oxidation of (Ib) or (Id) yields (IX) or (X) as main products.
