Thallium trinitrate-mediated ring contraction of 1,2-dihydronaphthalenes: An approach to the synthesis of indans

Oxidation of 1,2-dihydronaphthalenes with thallium trinitrate was studied. 1,2-dihydronaphthalene, 1-methyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene, 6- and 8-methoxy-1,2-dihydronaphthalenes gave rise to the respective ring contraction products in good yields, whereas the

A new titanium tetrachloride mediated annulation of α -aryl-substituted carbonyl compounds with alkynes: A simple and highly efficient method for the regioselective synthesis of polysubstituted naphthalene derivatives

A new straightforward procedure has been developed for the synthesis of polysubstituted naphthalene derivatives. The reaction of α -aryl-substituted carbonyl compounds with terminal or internal alkynes in the presence of TiCl4 regioselectively generates substituted naphthalene derivatives in good to excellent yields.
