Abstract
1-Naphthol undergoes photoaddition to benzonitrile to give the additio n product 2-[amino(phenyl)methylidene]naphthalen-1(2H)-one (1), by ini tial attack of the cyano group on the aromatic ring of the 1-naphthol; the structure of adduct 1 has been unambiguously confirmed by an X-ra y structural analysis.
