Synthesis of substituted naphthalenes from alpha-tetralones generated by a xanthate radical addition-cyclisation sequence.
A simple, highly efficient and cheap synthesis of substituted naphthalenes is reported. These aromatic compounds can be easily prepared in acidic or basic conditions from [small alpha]-tetralones, obtained by a xanthate-mediated addition-cyclisation sequence.
