SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERISATION OF SCME ALKYL-2-NAPHTHYL ETHERS

Abstract

Bight lkyl-2-napthyl ether were prepared by the reaction of 2-napthol with the correspondina alcohols in presence of hyd rochloric acid. . ..... n....&. --------------~ I.b,.."".

Each ether prepared was ch racterised by its infr ared, and nuclear agnetic resonance spectra. In addition the picrates of each other were repared.
