Treatment of Naphthols with B(C(6)F(5))(3): Formation and Characterization of the Lewis Acid Adducts of Their Keto Isomers.
With the strong Lewis acid B(C(6)F(5))(3), the keto tautomers from a variety of naphthol derivatives are obtained (e.g. alpha-naphthol, see scheme). The adducts of the tautomers were characterized by X-ray structure analysis, and the first attempts at hydrozirconation of the adducts were made.
