The present investigation was undertaken to study the chemistry of some naphth [1, 2] imidazoles which bear a substituent on the naphthalene nucleus. The syntheses of a number of compounds based upon the naphth [1, 2] imidazole nucleus (I) and some of their properties are reported. Several new intermediates were prepared during the course of this work. Two of these, 1, 5-diamino-2-acetamidonaphthalene and 1, 6-diamino-2- ...
