Abstract
Nitration of naphtho[2,3-c][1,2,5]thiadiazole gives the 5-nitro derivative in 61–66% yield. Chlorination of this product apparently gives an unstable addition product which loses hydrogen chloride on recrystallization to give 4-chloro-8-nitronaphtho[2,3-c][1,2,5]thiadiazole. Thus, naphtho[2,3-c][1,2,5]thiadiazole under nitrating conditions behaves as a 2-substituted naphthalene rather than as an anthracene analog.
