Abstract

Photolysis of 2-nitro-3-(1-naphthyl)acrylates (1) in acetone gave novel naphtho[1, 2-b]furan-2-carboxylates (2) and 2-(alkoxyoxalylaminomethylene)naphthalen-1-ones (3). 2-Nitro-3-(2-naphthyl)acrylate also produced the furan derivative 2 on irradiation. A mechanism for this new photorearrangement reaction is described.
