Abstract

The preparation and rearrangement of two l-oxo-2, 2-dialkyl-l, 2-dihydronaphthalenes are described. Evidence for the structure of these compounds is given and the products of the rearrangements are identified as 3, 4-dialkyl-l-naphthol derivatives. This rearrangement is most unusual since the same products are obtained upon rearrangement of 1-oxo-4.4- dialkyl-l, 2-dihydronaphthalenes under identical conditions.
