The study of purified intermediate products of the Bucherer reaction has shown that this reaction proceeds, not via bisulfite addition compounds of the keto form of the naphthols and the ketimine form of the naphthylamines, but via tetralonesulfonic acids and tetraloniminesulfonic acids. The intermediates lead to compounds that are otherwise difficult or impossible to obtain, and some of which are new. The mechanism of the Bucherer reaction is discussed in detail.
