The reactions of tetrahalogenobenzynes with methoxyarenes afford good yields of both 1,4-dihydro-1-methoxy-1,4-ethenonaphthalene derivatives and, in certain cases, 3,4-dihydro-1,4-ethenonaphthalen-2(1H)-ones. Thermolysis or photolysis of these compounds leads to naphthalene derivatives in high yield.
