Reinvestigation of the reaction of nitrenes with naphthalene. Formation of 1H-1-benzazepine and 3H-3-benzazepine
Abstract
Thermally generated methoxycarbonylnitrene in naphthalene gave 1H-1-benzazepine and 3H-3-benzazepine derivatives, the yields of which increased with increased nitrogen pressure; formation of methyl 1-naphthyl-carbamate and the reaction path are also discussed.
