“…2,3,6 It has been shown that thermal dediazoniations of aromatic diazonium salts involve a variety of mechanisms, heterolytic and homolytic, and small modifications to the reaction conditions (solvent, substituent, pH, atmosphere, addition of other solvents or substrates) may change the mechanism and products drastically. 2,3,[5][6][7][8] Nevertheless, publications describing thermal dediazoniation of naphthalenediazonium salts are surprisingly very few. 6,9 Host-guest complexation has been studied with great interest in recent decades owing to its many possible applications, e.g.…”
