Abstract

Selective ring alkylation of naphthols is difficult because these are typical multireactive substrates. They react with a variety of electrophilic reagents giving mixtures of monoand polysubstituted isomers. Usually the alkylation of aromatic substrates is a process of low selectivity because an alkylated ring is more susceptible to a subsequent electrophilic attack than a nonalkylated one. It seems that the only systematic data published so far that ...
