Solvolysis of syn- and anti-N-chloro-1,4-dihydro-1,4-iminonaphthalenes
Abstract
The configuration of chlorine determines the course of methanolysis of the title compounds; new structures are assigned to the reaction products and the rates of reaction of the anti-N-chloroamines are shown to vary according to the ability of the substituents in the benzo-ring to encourage benzo-participation.
