Abstract

Much interest has been shown recently in 2-tetralones bearing hydroxy, methyl and methoxy substituents in the aromatic ring because of their high reactivity and importance as raw materials for the synthesis of natural products. 1, 2 Among the methoxy-substituted compounds, 7, 8-dimethoxy-2-tetralone (5) has drawn the attention of organic chemists for a long time due to its importance as an intermediate in the synthesis of analgesics, ...
