1,8-Dehydronaphthalene. Part II. Generation of 1,8-dehydronaphthalene from 1-aminonaphtho[1,8-de]triazine
Abstract
Amination of naphtho[1,8-de]triazine with hydroxylamine-O-sulphonate afforded 1-amino-8-azido-1-naphthalene and 1-aminonaphtho[1,8-de]triazine. Oxidation of the latter with lead tetra-acetate liberated nitrogen and gave 1,8-dehydronaphthalene which could be trapped by cycloaddition to dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate or to N-phenylmaleimide.
