The assignment of the diazo site in products of the reaction of p ‐toluenesulfonylhydrazine with β‐lapachone, 3,4‐dihydro‐2,2‐dimethyl‐2 H ‐naphtho[1,2‐b]pyran‐5,6‐dione, and other 1,2‐naphthoquinones in methanol solution at room temperature has been accomplished using 1 H, 13 C HMBC and 1 H, 15 N HMBC NMR experiments. Only one diazo‐naphthalenone product was isolated in yields ranging from 50–100% from each reaction. The site of diazo substitution of β‐lapachone and derivatives is the 1‐position, in contrast to substitution at the 2‐position in 4‐MeO‐1,2‐naphthoquinone. Steric factors, rather than electronic factors, control the reaction site. Along with 2‐diazo‐1(2 H )‐naphthalenone, an additional product isolated from the reaction of p ‐toluenesulfonylhydrazide with 1,2‐naphthoquinone was 2‐diazo‐4‐hydroxy‐1(2 H )‐naphthalenone. Confirmation of the formation of 6‐diazo‐2,2‐dimethyl‐2,3,4,6‐tetrahydro‐2 H ‐benzo[h]cromen‐5‐one, obtained from β‐lapachone, was achieved using single crystal X‐ray diffraction.
