An iodocyclization reaction of o-alkynylphenyl carboxaldehydes is reported that is truly catalytic with respect to the electrophilic iodine source. With a combination of tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI), Oxone as non-nucleophilic and easy to handle co-oxidant, and fluorinated protic solvents, highly substituted 1-naphthalenones could be prepared in high yields of up to 91%.

A new, practical route to 1-acyl-2-substitutednaphthalenes has been developed by benzoquinone-promoted ZnI 2 -catalyzed benzannulation of 2-alkynylbenzaldehydes with alkenes. This method allows three new bonds, two C=C bonds and one C=O bond, to be constructed in a single reaction.
