Dienone–phenol type rearrangements. Part II. Synthesis of a bicyclic phenol
Abstract
1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-1,1,5-trimethylnaphthalene-2,6-diol, obtained from acid-catalysed rearrangement of a di-hydroxy-octalone and also from photochemical rearrangement of a bicyclic dienone, has been synthesised as its mono-O-methyl ether by an independent route.
