title: Synthetic transformation of 1,3-diarylisobenzofuran-DMAD adducts: a facile preparation of tri-substituted α-naphthols.
abstract: 1,3-Diarylisobenzofuran-DMAD adducts upon reaction with BF3·OEt2 in DCM at room temperature underwent a regiospecific 1,2-aryl migration followed by the Krapcho decarboxylation to give tri-substituted α-naphthols in good yields.
