Isolation of Cyclohexadienone Intermediates in the Photo-Fries Rearrangement of 2,4-Dimethylnaphth-1-yl and 1,4-Dimethylnaphth-2-yl 2,4,6-Trimethylbenzoates
Labile cyclohexadienones were isolated for the first time in good yields in the photo-Fries rearrangement of partially blocked naphthyl esters. Upon direct excitation at 313 nm, 1,4-dimethylnaphth-2-yl and 2,4-dimethylnaphth-1-yl 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoates afforded 1-acyl-2-naphthalenone and 2- and 4-acyl-1-naphthalenones, respectively. This isolation is of particular importance as a direct mechanistic

The acid-catalysed cleavage of 1,4-dimethyl-1,4-dihydronaphthalene-1,4-endoperoxide gives the 4-hydroxy, methoxy, trifluoroacetoxy, formyloxy, bromo, and chloro methyl derivatives of 1-methylnaphthalene in yields of 36,38,52,76,77, and 100% respectively when water, methanol, trifluoracetic, formic, hydrobromic, or hydrochloric acids are used as reagents.

In the presence of acids, 1,4-dimethyl-1,4-dihydronaphthalene 1,4-endoperoxide readily reacts with nucleophiles to produce methyl- and ring-substituted naphthalenes in high yields. The regioselectivity observed depends on the nucleophile. The key intermediate is shown to be the corresponding hydroperoxy carbocation which could be intercepted in certain cases prior to aromatization. The hydroperoxide
Remarkable Differences in Photo and Thermal (Acid-catalyzed) Reactivities between<i>ortho</i>- and<i>para</i>-Acylcyclohexadienones as Essential Factors Determining the Overall Efficiency of the Photo-Fries Rearrangement
Successful isolation of “ortho” and “para”-acylcyclohexadienones allowed us to comparatively study their ground- and excited-state behavior under a variety of conditions. In neutral solutions, the two isomeric cyclohexdienones showed completely different reactivities for photochemical and thermal reactions, while in acidic methanol both quantitatively afforded the corresponding transesterification product and naphthol. These studies help us understand the detailed photo-Fries rearrangement mechanism, which involves several crucial photochemical and thermal steps.

Cationic rhodium(I)-catalyzed cyclodimerization of oxabenzonorbornadienes produced naphtho[1,2-b]furan ring systems in a single step with excellent yields and excellent enantioselectivities. The effect of various Rh(I) catalysts, Ag(I) salts, solvents, and phosphine ligands on the yield and enantioselectivity of the reaction was investigated, and the scope and limitations of this reaction with various
