Abstract-1-Benzyloxy-5-hydroxynaphthalene and 1,6-dimethyl-5-hydroxynaphthalene were prepared from 5-methoxy-=-tetralone. 6-Methoxy-=-tetralone was converted to 1,6-dimethoxy-2-isopropylnaphthalene . ... Substituted naphthalenes and phenanthrenes are promising intermediates for the synthesis of natural products [1]. Proceeding with studies on terpenoid compounds, we attempted to ...
