Regioselective synthesis of 1,8-dihydroxytetralins through a tandem reduction/intramolecular hydroxyalkylation of 4-(3-hydroxyphenyl)alkanoates
A series of 4-(3-hydroxyphenyl)butanoates 3 has been prepared and transformed into 1,8-dihydroxytetralins of general formula 2 by treatment with 2 equivalents of DIBALH followed by quenching with aqueous NH4Cl. A possible mechanism for this novel totally regioselective intramolecular hydroxyalkylation is suggested and the factors affecting the stability of 1,8-dihydroxytetralins 2 are also discussed.

Biosynthesis of Fungal Metabolites. Terrein, a Metabolite of Aspergillus terreus Thom
Terrein, a metabolite of Aspergillus terreus Thom, is biosynthesised from 3,4-dihydro-6,8-dihydroxy-3-methylisocoumarin by contraction of an aryl ring.The direction of the ring contraction has been investigated using acetate as precursor.
