Naphthyl

Naphthyl Acetate. CHgCOOCi H,. Dissolve 1 g. of pure 2-naphtnol in 5 ml. (r8 mols.) of 10% sodium hydroxide solution as before, add 10 g. of crushed ice, and i-i ml. (1-14 g., 1 5 mols.) of acetic anhydride. Shake the mixture vigorously for about 10-15 minutes the 2-naphthyl acetate separates as colourless crystals. Filter at the pump, wash with water, drain, and dry thoroughly. Yield of crude material, 1-4 g. (theoretical). Recrystallise from petroleum (b.p. 60-80 ), from which, on cooling and scratching, the 2-naphthyl acetate separates as colourless crystals, m.p, 71 yield, 10 g.

Recrystallise from methylated spirit, from which the methyl 2-naphthyl ether separates readily as colourless crystals, m.p. 72° yield, 9 g. 

Alkyl and aryl-alkyl halides form 2-naphthyl ethers with 2-naphthol.

Amino-5 -deoxy-2, 3 -0-isopropylideneadenosine was acylated at N-5 with an activated derivative of the 6-carboxy-2-naphthyl ester of Kemp s acid imide. The resulting molecule possesses self-complementary binding sites, the key feature of replicating molecules that act as templates for their own reproduction. The dimer of this molecule is, however, not very stable K = 630 L mol ). When the two initially mentioned educts are added, a small proportion of the ternary complex is also formed and undergoes a fast, template-catalysed...
