Abstract

The syntheses of 1-methyl-, 1, 1-dimethyl-, cis (?)-1, 2-dimethyl-, 1, 1, 2-trimethyl-, and 1, 1, 2, 2-tetramethylacenaphthene have been accomplished by standard reactions from the two compounds 1-acenaphthenone and 2-methyl-1-acenaphthenone. These two ketones were in turn obtained from 1-naphthaleneacetic acid.
