Abstract:
Herein we present an initial computational study of the chlorination reaction of 2-naphthol exploring PIDA [Diacetoxyiodo(benzene)] and AlCl3. The developed first mechanism considers the PhICl2 formation as the plausible chlorinating intermediate was analized by DFT calculations at the (SMD:acetonitrile)ω-B97XD/(6-311G(d,p),LANL08d)//ω-B97XD/6-31G(d) level indicated that the reaction proceed through a cationic pathway.
