Mr. Dennis et S. Woodward, ENANTIOPURE 3-AMIDO OR 3,3'-BISAMIDO SUBSTITUTED 1,1'-BI-2-NAPHTHOLS BY ANIONIC FRIES REARRANGEMENTS, Journal of the Chemical Society. Perkin transactions. I, (6), 1998, pp. 1081-1085
Mono- or di-carbamates of 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol ortholithiate with (BuLi)
-Li-s-TMEDA, The resulting anions may either be captured by MeI or all
owed to undergo anionic Fries rearrangement, Thus generalised two-step
routes to mono-and di-(3-alkyl) or -(3-amido) substituted 2,2'-binapt
hols is demonstrated.
