Abstract

The reaction of 2-(1-naphthyl)-1, 3-indanedione and 2-(4-nitro-1-naphthylr1, 3-indanedione anions with X-substituted benzyl bromides in acetone and dimethylformamide was studied. The anion of 2-(1-naphthyl)-1, 3-indanedione affords both C-benzyl and O-benzyl derivatives whereas the 4-nitro anion gives only C-benzyl derivatives. A linear relationship was found between log C/O and a+ constants for para-substituted benzyl bromides. Steric ...
