Synthesis of 2-acetyl-5,8-dihydro-1,4-dihydroxy-3-methyl naphthalene: a product from the isomerisation of diels-alder adducts of both 5-methyl- and 6-methyl-2-acetyl-1,4-benzoquinone with 1,3-butadiene

2-Acetyl-5,8-dihydro-1,4-dihydroxy-3-methyl-naphthalene was synthesised via Diels-Alder addition of 2-acetyl-3-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone to buta-1,3-diene followed by enolisation. It was identical with material obtained by pyridine-induced acetyl migration
