An Unusual Reversible Valence Bond Isomerization Hemi-Dewar Naphthalene to Naphthalene.

Abstract

Evidence obtained by electron spin resonance indicates that 1,3,6,8-tetra-tert-butylnaphthalene and 1,3,8-tri-tert-butylnaphthalene isomerize through the dianion intermediate to form the corresponding hemi-Dewar naphthalenes. This reaction is facilitated through the non-planarity of the parent naphthalene compounds. Esr spectra of the anion radical of the hemi-Dewar naphthalene anions are reported. (Author)
