Abstract

The photoamination of 1-(2-methyl-1-propenyl) naphthalene (1a) with ammonia in the presence of p-dicyanobenzene (p-DCB) occurred selectively at the alkenyl group but not at the naphthyl group to give 1-(2-amino-2-methylpropyl) naphthalene (2a). Similarly, the photoamination of several kinds of alkenylnaphthalenes (1) proceeded selectively at the alkenyl group. The photoamination proceeded via the nucleophilic addition of ammonia to ...
