Abstract

4-aryl-2-tert-butyl-1-naphthols are obtained regioselectively from 2-tert-butyl-1-napthol by an electro-induced SRN1 reaction in liquid ammonia. The reaction is illustrated with different aryl chlorides as starting compounds (aryl= pyridyl, quinolinyl, phenylpyridine); the yields are between 60 and 85%. The tert-butyl substituent can be further eliminated by a trans-alkylation reaction.
