Summary
2∶4-dipropionyl-1-naphthol, and 4-acetyl-2-propionyl-1-naphthol have been prepared, and have been subjected to bromination, nitration and vigorous acetylation. The constitution of the resulting products in each case has been determined. The acyl groups in 2 as well as 4 positions are found to be labile during nitration, and it is observed that the 4-acyl group, whatever its character, is found to be more labile than the 2-acyl group as the latter is unaffected during the course of the Nencki Reaction.
