Reaction of an Ambident Anion. Effect of Solvent and Catalyst on the Cyanoethylation of 2-Naphthol

The cyanoethylation of the ambident anion, 2-naphthoxide, is known to proceed either by carbon- or oxygen-alkylation, depending upon reaction conditions. Recently a study was made on the effect of solvent on the course of the reaction. | The purpose of the present investigation was to study this reaction in other solvent and/or catalytic systems, to further investigate the anamolies(sic) found with regard to Triton B and methanol, and finally, to draw relationships, if such exist, between solvent and catalyst character and product distribution.
