Automerizations Thermal rearrangement of aromatic hydrocarbons




subsequent work showed isomerization of azulene naphthalene not readily reversible ( free energy of naphthalene azulene isomerization high - approximately 90 kcal/mol). new reaction mechanism suggested involved carbene intermediate , consecutive 1,2-hydrogen , 1,2-carbon shifts across same c-c bond in opposite directions. preferred mechanism , follows:
