MeOTf/KI-catalyzed efficient synthesis of 2-arylnaphthalenesviacyclodimerization of styrene oxides

The MeOTf/KI-catalyzed synthesis of 2-arylnaphthalene derivatives from aryl ethylene oxides in alcohol under ambient conditions is described. The present protocol has a higher atom efficiency and wider substrate applicability with excellent yields. The reaction proceeded using the aryl ethylene oxides to give 2-arylnaphthalenes either in homo-coupling or in cross-coupling. The reaction could also be carried out at the gram scale in minutes.

Iron-catalyzed benzannulation reactions of 2-alkylbenzaldehydes and alkynes leading to naphthalene derivatives

An efficient and practical method for the synthesis of naphthalene derivatives via Fe(III)-catalyzed benzannulation of 2-(2-oxoethyl)-benzaldehydes and alkynes has been developed. The system holds the advantages of cheap catalysts, wide substrate scope, and mild reaction conditions.

Regioselective synthesis of substituted 1-methyl- and 2-methylnaphthalenes

Regiospecifically substituted 1-methyl- and 2-methylnaphthalenes, 5-methyl- and 6-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroanthracenes have been synthesized in good yields through 1,2-addition of the corresponding α-lithio- o- or m-xylenes onto α-oxoketene dithioacetals or their dihydro derivatives followed by cyclodehydration of the resulting carbinols in the presence of borontrifluoride etherate.
