摘要

Treatment of arylethanals 1 with boron tribromide give 2-phenylnaphthalenes 2 or 1, 2, 9, 10- tetrahydro-1, 9-epoxydibenzo [a, e] cyclooctenes 3 by a tandem aldol condensation- intramolecular Friedel-Crafts cyclization or a condensation at the O-position followed by a double Friedel-Crafts alkylation respectively. In all cases, a total demethylation of the methoxy groups occurs.
