Abstract
Electro-oxidations of alkylnaphthalenes lead mainly to polymeric products and show a radical cation mechanism. Mechanisms are proposed and discussed based on energetic arguments. Enthalpies of formation and the energies of the HOMO and SOMO, calculated using the AM1 program, are presented. It is shown that the prevailing polymeric products are obtained by way of the intermediate formation of naphthols.
