Abstract

Novel dialkyloxy-and dihydroxyoctahydroperylenes are regioselectively available via a new tandem Friedel− Crafts alkylation of tetrahydronaphthalene precursors followed by oxidative aromatization. Heating of 5-alkyloxy-1-tetralol with p-toluenesulfonic acid in sulfolane gave the corresponding octahydroperylenes in moderate yields. Studies with Lewis acids and tetralin-1, 5-diol in acetonitrile at room temperature provided the 4, 10-dihydroxy analogue ...
