Abstract
Abstract α-Tetralones were initially converted into 1-bromo-dihydronaphthalene-2-carbaldehydes and 1-bromo-naphthalene-2-carbaldehydes. These precursors were then subjected to Suzuki coupling reactions to afford 1,2-disubstituted aryldihydronaphthalenes and 1,2-disubstituted arylnaphthalenes, respectively. The former products were oxidized with DDQ to give 1,2-disubstituted arylnaphthalenes.
