Abstract

Some 3', 4'-cyclohexa-1', 2'-dihydro-and 1', 2'-cyclohexa-3', 4'-dihydro-3, 4, 7, 8- dibenzocoumarins 2 and 3 were prepared by catalytic condensation between a naphthol and a α-carbethoxy-cis-decalone (− 1 or− 2). These compounds, when treated with Pd/C at 260°, undergo, beside aromatization, a complete decarboxylation of the lactone ring. A mechanism, involving H transfer through a π-allylic palladium complex is described.
