Na/EtOH reduction of 1-aryl-7-methoxynaphthalenes occurred preferentially at the A-ring when no substituents were present at the ortho-positions of the aryl group (up to 100% selectivity), to afford 1-aryl-7-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalenes. Ortho-substitution of the 1-aryl moiety favored B-ring reduction (up to 85:15 selectivity) giving rise, after acidic hydrolysis of the vinyl ether intermediate, to the corresponding 8-aryl-2-tetralones.

We report a formal [4+2] cycloaddition reaction of styrenes under visible‐light catalysis. Two styrene molecules with different electronic or steric properties were found to react with each other in good yield and excellent chemo‐ and regioselectivity. This reaction provides direct access to polysubstituted tetralin scaffolds from readily available styrenes. Sophisticated tricyclic and tetracyclic

The BF3 catalysed cyclisation of 3-arylpropyl substituted quinone-methide ketals affords a biomimetic route to aryltetralins which proceeds under mild conditions.

The facile electron transfer catalysis of diaryl diselenides was utilized for the visible-light [4+2] homodimerization of decomposition-prone styrenes. The reaction required only 0.5 mol % TPT+BF4– photocatalyst and 1.5 mol % electron transfer catalyst (ArSe)2. The spontaneous electron transfer capability of diaryl diselenides was demonstrated for the first time, leading to the sequestration of redox-prone

Two alternative routes are described for the synthesis of 8-aryl-2-tetralones (1). Route A starts from alpha-tetralone 3 and involves 3 or 4 steps, with the selective Na-EtOH reduction of 1-aryl-7-methoxynaphthalenes 2 being the key step. The exclusive reduction of the A ring of naphthalenes 2 occurs when the aryl group at C-1 has no substituent at the ortho positions, affording tetrahydronaphthalenes 11. Reduction of the B ring of 2 becomes the major process when the aryl fragment has two substituents at the ortho positions, affording 8-aryl-2-tetralones 1 as the major component. Route B involves 5 steps starting from 2-tetralone 5, with the key step being the Suzuki coupling with triflate 4. This approach allows the synthesis of 8-aryl-2-tetralones 1 with no substituent at the ortho positions of the aryl fragment and with naphthalene and anthracene rings at C-8.
