Abstract

Naphtho[l,2-c]furan and the novel naphtho[2,3-c]furan have been generated from 2- (hydroxymethyl) -1 - naphthaldehyde and 3- (hydroxymethyl) -2-naphthaldehyde, respectively, and trapped in Diels-Alder reactions with maleic anhydride. ... For some time we have been interested in the generation and ... [2,3-c]furan, (3). In this communication, simple syntheses of ... As a consequence of this interest, it has been observed that
