5,8-Dihydronaphthalene-1,4-diol, readily available from benzoquinone and buta-1,3-diene, is isomerized by heating with strong sodium hydroxide, and acetylated (Ac2O), in situ, to form 5,8-diacetoxy-1,2-dihydronaphthalene. Catalysed (AlCl3) addition of acetyl chloride followed by dehydrochlorination (LiCI/HCONMe2) yielded 5,8-diacetoxy-3-acetyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene (11) in 82% overall yield. Base hydrolysis of (11), followed by methylation (Me2SO4) gives 3-acetyl-5,8-dimethoxy-1,2-dihydronaphthalene in 94% yield, the most direct route to this product so far described. More importantly, the diacetate (11) is selectively deacetylated at C5 (Cs2CO3 in tetrahydrofuran, or K2CO3 in Me2SO) to form the related phenol, alkylation of which produces the 5-alkoxy compound. Further hydrolysis followed by alkylation yields the unsymmetrically, but regiospecifically substituted, 3-acetyl-5,8-dialkoxy-1,2-dihydronaphthalenes. This method is specifically illustrated by the production of 3-acetyl-5-benzyloxy-8-methoxy-1,2-dihydronaphthalene which is formed in a short, cost effective synthesis in a moderate overall yield (25%) based upon benzoquinone as starting material;significantly, no chromatographic separations are required.

Abstract Several methods are used to invert samples 180 deg in a dual beam focused ion beam (FIB) system for backside milling by a specific in-situ lift out system or stages. However, most of those methods occupied too much time on FIB systems or requires a specific in-situ lift out system. This paper provides a novel transmission electron microscopy (TEM) sample preparation method to eliminate the curtain effect completely by a combination of backside milling and sample dicing with low cost and less FIB time. The procedures of the TEM pre-thinned sample preparation method using a combination of sample dicing and backside milling are described step by step. From the analysis results, the method has applied successfully to eliminate the curtain effect of dual beam FIB TEM samples for both random and site specific addresses.

Calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) is the primary constituent of the majority of renal stones. Osteopontin (OPN), an aspartic acid-rich urinary protein, and citrate, a much smaller molecule, are potent inhibitors of COM crystallization at levels present in normal urine. Current concepts of the role of site-specific interactions in crystallization derived from studies of biomineralization are reviewed to provide a context for understanding modulation of COM growth at a molecular level. Results from in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) analyses of the effects of citrate and OPN on growth verified the critical role of site-specific interactions between these growth modulators and individual steps on COM crystal surfaces. Molecular modeling investigations of interactions of citrate with steps and faces on COM crystal surfaces provided links between the stereochemistry of interaction and the binding energy levels that underlie mechanisms of growth modification and changes in overall crystal morphology. The combination of in situ AFM and molecular modeling provides new knowledge that will aid rationale design of therapeutic agents for inhibition of stone formation.
