Abstract
1-nitronaphthalene has unexpectedly been synthesized from 5-nitronaphthylamine using diazotization method and treatment with aqueous copper sulphate solution. Detailed UV-visible, FT-IR spectral analysis in addition to 1HNMR, 13CNMR studies have confirmed the product.
Key words: Nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, 1-nitronaphthalene, 1-amino-5-nitronaphthalene, diazotization, copper sulphate for reduction, UV-visible spectrum.
