Abstract
Abstract The dimer, 1,2-di(4-methyl-1-naphthyl)ethane has been studied in metal-ammonia reduction as a model for the analogous polymer which has recently been reported. Both unsubstituted rings were reduced and reduction of only one ring by limiting the metal could not be accomplished. No CC bond cleavage occurred under these conditions. The dimer behaved quite differently from the monomer (1,4-dimethylnaphthalene) with respect to 1,2-dihydro and tetralin-like products.
