Aromatic carbon–hydrogen bond activation. Novel synthesis of 1-naphthol derivatives by palladium catalysed cyclocarbonylation of cinnamyl compounds
Abstract
Palladium catalysed cyclocarbonylation of cinnamyl compounds gives 1-naphthol derivatives in good yields whereas the similar carbonylation of trans-β-bromostyrene yields a polymer containing benzindanone units.
