Attempts to prepare 1, l-di-a-menaphthylhydrazine by alkylation of t-butyl carbazate by means 6f l-chloromethylnaphthalene gave only the monoalkylated product I11 which wm characterized by cleavage to a-menaphthylhydrazine, tosylation of which gave 1-a- menaphthyl-1-p-tluenesulfonhydrazide(IV). The structure of IV waa established by an alternate synthesis which involved amination of Na-menaphthyl-p-toluenesulfonamide by ...
