title: Synthesis of 2-acetyl-1,4-dimethoxynaphthalene, a potential intermediate for disubstituted naphtho[2,3,c]pyran-5,10-dione.
abstract: 2-Acetyl-1-hydroxynaphthalene was converted into the title compound in three steps (bromination, substitution and methylation). 1-Methoxynaphthalene on bromination, substitution and acetylation, respectively, also yielded the target compound.
