A concise synthesis of 1‐naphthols via cyclization of o‐iodoacetophenones and methyl ketones has been realized under very mild conditions. The cyclization process is initiated by a rare copper‐catalyzed arylation of simple methyl ketones with ortho‐iodoacetophenones.
Tandem carbon–carbon bond insertion and intramolecular aldol reaction of benzyne with aroylacetones: novel formation of 4,4′-disubstituted 1,1′-binaphthols
An efficient route to 4-aryl-2-naphthols from arynes and aroylacetones was developed by carbon-carbon bond insertion followed by an intramolecular aldol reaction and dehydration. Benzyne derived from 2-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl triflate reacted with benzoylacetones in refluxing acetonitrile to give 4-aryl-2-naphthols and 3-aryl-1-naphthols.
A Ru(II)-catalyzed coupling of various α-carbonyl phosphoniums with sulfoxoniumylides has been realized for the facile synthesis of 1-naphthols in good to excellent yields. This oxidant-free transformation proceeds through Ru-catalyzed C–H activation of phosphoniums, Ru-carbene insertion, and intramolecular Wittig reaction processes.

A Cu-catalyzed straightforward synthesis of 1-naphthols via an 6-endo-dig cyclization of terminalalkynes with 2-bromoaryl ketones in water is reported. The Cu(I) catalytic system tolerates various electron-withdrawing and electron-donating functional groups on both substrates and exhibits unique 6-endo-dig selectivity to give 1-naphthols in moderate to good yields.

This research successfully achieved a Cu(II)-catalyzed 6 pi-photocyclization of non-6 pi substrates. The photo-enolization converts ortho-alkylphenyl alkynl ketones into a triene-type intermediate which undergoes the subsequent 6 pi-photo- facilitates both photoenolization and 6 pi-photocyclization. This research highlighted the tandem reaction strategy and the importance of metal catalysis in photochemistry.
