Photodecarboxylation of Substituted Naphthylmethyl Arylacetate Esters: Synthesis of Naphthylarylethanes

The synthesis of naphthylarylethanes via the photodecarboxylation of naphthylmethyl arylacetate esters is reported where the aryl group is able to stabilize a charge transfer reaction. The reaction proceeds via intramolecular charge transfer from the donor to acceptor, thereby enhancing a pathway to produce, within the solvent cage, the desired diarylethane products. These in-cage naphthylarylethanes are produced in good yields, in a single photochemical step, with the use of cyclohexane as a solvent providing optimal yields.

Functionalization of the Methyl Group of 1,4-Dimethyl-1,4-dihydronaphthalene-1,4-endoperoxide

The acid-catalysed cleavage of 1,4-dimethyl-1,4-dihydronaphthalene-1,4-endoperoxide gives the 4-hydroxy, methoxy, trifluoroacetoxy, formyloxy, bromo, and chloro methyl derivatives of 1-methylnaphthalene in yields of 36, 38, 52, 76, 77, and 100percent respectively when water, methanol, trifluoroacetic, formic, hydrobromic, or hydrochloric acids are used as reagents.
