Reaction Steps

1-Acetonaphtone is reacted with 1-naphtoaldehyde and sodium hydroxide in ethanol to produce 1,3-dinaphthyl-3-hydroxypropanone. The resulting compound is reacted with KHSO4 to obtain 1,3-dinaphthyl-3-propene-1-on. The resulting compound is reacted with hydrazine and potassium hydroxide in triethylene glycol to produce 1,3-dinaphthylpropane. 1,3-Dinaphthylpropane is reacted with fuming nitric acid and acetic acid anhydride to produce 1,3-dinitronaphthylpropane.
