Detailed Solution
however (in contrast to benzene), the positions in the naphthalene nucleus are not all equivalent, substitution in naphthalene can lead to two isomeric monosubstitution products. In naphthalene, electrophilic substitution can occur at carbon-1 or at carbon-2. The carbocation formed by the attack of electrophile at 1-position of naphthalene is much more stabilize by resonance since it has four contributing structures in which aromatic character is retained in one of the ring
