Title: ChemInform Abstract: Nitration of 2,6‐, 2,7‐ and 1,5‐(Carboxymethyloxy/Carboxymethylmercapto)naphthalenes.
Abstract: Abstract Quantum mechanical calculations on the 2,6‐disubstituted naphthalene (I) reveal that nitration should proceed at position 1 or 5. In fact, nitration of (I) with an equimolar quantity of HNO 3 (II) affords the 5‐nitro derivative (III) accompanied by a small amount of the 1‐nitro derivative (IV).
