Abstract

Lewis Acid-Catalyzed Ring-Opening Functionalizations of 1,4-Epoxy-1,4-dihydronaphthalenes. -A novel Lewis acid-catalyzed ring-opening allylation, cyanation and azidation of 1,4-disubstituted 1,4-epoxynaphthalenes is reported. Highly functionalized naphthalene derivatives (III)/(IV), (VI),(IX), (X), and (XIII) are obtained via regioselective C-C and C-N bond formation. -(SAWAMA*, Y.; OGATA, Y.; KAWAMOTO, K.; SATAKE, H.; SHIBATA, K.; MONGUCHI, Y.; SAJIKI, H.; KITA, Y.; Adv.
