Abstract
A new single-step approach to cyclopenta[a]naphthalenes through TiCl4-catalyzed reactions of 1-trimethylsilyloxycyclopentene with arylacetaldehydes was proposed. 8-Methoxy-5-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]naphthalene and its derivatives were studied in oxidation and bromination reactions, as well as in hydrolytic cleavage of the O-Me bond.
