71. In typical reactions of naphthalene involving one of the rings, the total aromatic stabilization energy (ASE) of naphthalene must be reduced by the ASE of benzene since one benzene moiety remains after the reaction. The ASEs depend on the method of evaluation as described in ref 2. For a recent paper, see: Wiberg, K. B. J. Org. Chem. 1997, 62, 5720.
