Based upon a study of the reaction kinetics of the photobromination of 1-methylnaphthalene, 2-methylnaphthalene, and 2, 6-dimethylnaphthalene, we previously reported the predicted product composition resulting from the photobromination of l, &dimethylnaphthalene.'Of interest is the comparison of relative reactivity of CY-and p-methyl groups (the a reaction proceeds 2.8 times faster than the@ reaction) to that of CY-and p-bromomethyl groups (in ...
