The preparation of 1-1′-naphthyl-8-phenylnaphthalene (8-phenyl-1,1′-binaphthyl)
Abstract
1-1′-Naphthyl-8-phenylnaphthalene has been synthesised from 1-1′-naphthylbutadiene. The product was contaminated with perylene. Dehydrogenation of 1,8-diaryl-1,4-dihydroxy-Δ6,7 octalins with dichlordicyano-p-benzoquinone yields 2,5-diarylfurans in small quantity.
