Abstract
Alkylations in dry media of the ambident 2-naphthoxide anion were perf ormed with microwave activation in a focused (monomode) reactor. Where as yields were identical with those obtained after conventional heatin g in the case of benzylation, they were significantly enhanced with mi crowave activation for the more difficult n-octylation, No change in r egioselectivity was observed, indicating the lack of influence of the ionic polarization during the microwave procedure.
