Abstract

Acenaphthenequinone was obtained in 95% yield when the reaction of 1-acenaphthenone with N-bromosuccinimide was carried out in dimethyl sulfoxide at room temperature. Under similar conditions, several acenaphthenequinones were prepared from the corresponding 1- acenaphthenones in good yields.
