Abstract

Ethyl azidoformate has been allowed to react with 1, 4-naphthoquinone, 1, 2- naphthoquinone, and 2-methoxy-1, 4-naphthoquinone under different thermolytic conditions. A variety of products involving addition, substitution, insertion, and molecular rearrangement have been observed. The nature and yields of these products under different conditions are discussed inrelation to the mechanisms proposed for these reactions.
