Resonance-stabilized α-naphthylmethyl carbocations and spiro compounds based thereon: VII. Transformations of α-naphthylmethyl carbocations stabilized by one electron-donor group or peri-fused heteroring

Article abstract of DOI:10.1134/S107042800603002X

1-Hydroxymethyl- and 1-alkoxymethylnaphthalenes containing dimethylamino and methoxy groups or a heteroring in positions 4 and 5 react with protic and Lewis acids to give 1-naphthylmethyl carbocations. Reactions of the latter with the initial alcohol molecule lead to the formation of oligomerization or dehydrogenation (to aldehyde) products or the corresponding dinaphthylmethanes. In some cases, the process was accompanied by cyclodimerization to form cyclohexadienone spiro derivatives in a small yield. Pleiades Publishing, Inc., 2006.
