Abstract
2-Methoxymethyl naphthalene (1) was synthesized and its properties were found to be different from those reported in the literature. The reaction of this compound with cold conc. nitric acid gave 8-nitro-2-naphthaldehyde (2). When 1-methoxymethyl naphthalene (4) was treated similarly 4-nitro-1-methoxymethyl naphthalene (5) and 8-nitro-1-naphthaldehyde (6) were obtained.
