Abstract

The Fries rearrangement may proceed via an intramolecular,'intermolecular2 or partially inter-and intramolecular mechani~ rn.~ Crossover experiments support multiple mechanistic pathways! The acetyl group migrates to ortho and para positions, while the benzoyl group moves predominantly to the para po~ ition.~ It is difficult to prepare 2-benzoyl-1-napthano16 and 2-acetyland 2-benzoyl-1, 5-dihydroxynapthalene.
