General Description

Reaction of 2-bromonaphthalene with cuprous cyanide in N-methylpyrrolidone has been investigated. Nanosecond time-resolved resonance Raman spectra of the T₁→T_n transition of 2-bromonaphthalene in methanol solvent has been investigated.

Purification Methods

Purify 2-bromonaphthalene by fractional elution from a chromatographic column of activated alumina. Crystallise it from EtOH. [Beilstein 5 IV 1667.]
