Abstract
An improved synthetic method of 2-formyl-1,4,5,8-tetramethoxynaphthalene in 73% overall yield is described. This method has several advantages compared with the reported synthesis: first, the reactant is cheaper and the yield is higher; second, the reaction condition is milder and the reagent used is more friendly to environment; third, the workup of each step is simpler; fourth, the protocol reported is more suitable for large-scale preparation.
