The acid-catalysed cleavage of 1,4-dimethyl-1,4-dihydronaphthalene-1,4-endoperoxide gives the 4-hydroxy, methoxy, trifluoroacetoxy, formyloxy, bromo, and chloro methyl derivatives of 1-methylnaphthalene in yields of 36, 38, 52, 76, 77, and 100percent respectively when water, methanol, trifluoroacetic, formic, hydrobromic, or hydrochloric acids are used as reagents.
