The ir spectra of the condensation products of 1-(a-aminobenzyl)-2-naphthol with benzaldehyde and substituted benzaldehydes indicate that in the crystalline state they have the 2, 3-dihydro-lH-naphth [1, 2-e][1, 3]-oxazine structure. The nmr spectra show that in chloroform-d they equilibrate to a mixture of the cis-and trans-naphthoxazine (ring) and the corresponding Schiff base (chain) tautomers. The ring/chain ratio depends on the ...
