The Solvolysis of N-Acetoxy-1-N-acetylaminonaphtalene and N-Acetoxy-2-N-acetylaminonaphtalene: Divergent Chemistry and Mutagenic Activity
Upon solvolysis in neutral 40percent aqueous acetone, N-acetoxy-1-N- and N-acetoxy-2-N-acetylaminonaphtalene exibit completely different modes of reaction; the former reacts with nitrenium ion formation, while the latter undergoes acyl oxygen scission.
