Abstract

Abstract While anodic oxidation of substituted benzenes and anthracenes has been extensively studied, there are few studies of naphthalene derivatives. 1 Our need for a convenient economical route to methoxyjuglone2 prompted an investigation of the anodic oxidation of 1, 5-dimethoxynaphthalene, 1. 3, 4 We report that preparative anodic oxidation of 1 affords an isolable 1, 4-dihydronaphthalene, 2, which is converted to 1, 4, 5- ...
