✦ Synopsis
Abstract
A variety of cyclopalladated 1‐arylazonaphthalenes is described, where ortho‐palladation occurs at C(2) in the naphthyl ring or at C(2′ or 6′) in the phenyl moiety. Two examples of Peri‐cyclopalladation at C(8) in the naphthyl ring are presented. The electronic and steric‐influences of substituents at either arene moiety on the relative basicities of the azo‐N‐atoms and the relative nucleophilicities of the potential palladation sites C(2), C(2′ or 6′), and C(8) are discussed qualitatively in order to rationalize the observed regioselectivity.

## Abstract The reaction of a cyclopalladated 1‐arylazonaphthalene with tetrabutylammonium cyanide leads to an __ortho__‐cyano‐1‐arylazonaphthalene and a 3‐amino‐aryl‐benzo[g]indazole, depending upon whether triphenylphosphine or 1,2‐bis(diphenyl‐phosphino)ethane (DIPHOS) is used to monomerize the
