Hexa- and heptasubstitution in the interaction of octafluoronaphthalene with lithium dialkylamides: a new approach to the naphthalene 'proton sponges'
Abstract
The reaction of octafluoronaphthalene with lithium dimethylamide, pyrrolidide and piperidide was performed to synthesise polykis(dialkylamino)naphthalenes with up to seven dialkylamino groups as new strongly basic naphthalene 'proton sponges'.
