S. Vyskocil et al., ON THE NOVEL 2-PHASE OXIDATIVE CROSS-COUPLING OF THE 2-COMPONENT MOLECULAR-CRYSTAL OF 2-NAPHTHOL AND 2-NAPHTHYLAMINE, Chemical communications, (5), 1998, pp. 585-586
The FeCl3-mediated, heterogeneous cross-coupling of the title compound
s (1 + 2 --> 3) has been re-examined and formation of the molecular cr
ystal (1 + 2) shown to be irrelevant to the selectivity observed; a co
mparison of Fe-III and Cu-II as reagents is presented.
