In the reaction of 1-nitronaphthalene with K/sup 18/OH and /sup 16/O/sub 2/ in liquid ammonia 1-nitro-2- and 4-nitro-1-naphthols labeled with the /sup 18/O isotope in the hydroxyl group are formed. The ratio of the isomers and the content of the /sup 18/O isotope depend on the ratio of 1-nitronaphthalene and alkali, on the temperature, and on the presence of moisture in the ammonia. The amount of the /sup 18/O isotope in the hydroxylation products indicates that in contrast to the analogous reaction of nitrobenzene and its derivatives the hydroxy function of the products in this case is formed not only from the alkali but also to a significant degree form the oxygen of the O/sub 2/.
