Simple efficient syntheses of 8-hydroxy- and 8-methoxy-2-tetralones (9) and (10), 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-8- hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (5), 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-hydroxy-8-methoxy-2-naphthoic acid (8), 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2,s-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (7) and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (20) are described. The acid-catalysed reactions of the diazoketones derived from (5) and (20) gave good yields of tricyclic ketones (3) and (4) incorporating a cyclohexa-2,4-dienone moiety. The potential of (3) for gibberellin synthesis is examined.

5,8-Dimethoxy-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one was converted into diazomethyl 5,8-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-naphthyl ketone (10) which, when treated with trifluoroacetic acid at 0°, gave 5,8- dimethoxy-4,4a-dihydro-3,4a-ethanonaphthalen-2(3H)-one (13), but at -15° gave 8-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3,4a-ethanonaphthalene- 5(4aH),10-dione (14). 6-Methoxy-3,4-dihydronaphtha-len-1(2H)-one reacted with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid to give 4,5-dihydro-1-benzoxepin-2(3H)-one (15) which after hydrolysis, ethylation and polyphosphoric acid treatment gave 5-ethoxy-8-methoxy-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one (17). This compound was transformed into 5-ethoxy-8-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-naphthoic acid (19) and thence to the ethoxy analogue of (14).

The acid-catalysed reactions in weakly nucleophilic environments of 2-diazoacetyl-l,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (ll), of 6-diazoacetyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthol (2), of 6-diazoacetyl-5,6,7,8- tetrahydro-2-naphthyl methyl ether (3) and its 2,8 and 2,5 isomers (14) and (17), and of 6-diazo- acetyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-6-trifluoroacetoxy-2-naphthyl methyl ether (9) have been studied. Several of the spirocyclohexa-2,5-dienone derivatives prepared thus, (4), (8) and (16), provide potential intermediates or models for the synthesis of tetracyclic diterpenoids.

The tricyclic dienones (14), (16), and (16) have been prepared by the Ar1-6 cyclization of a diastereomeric mixture of 7-[(2?-bromo-1?- tetrahydropyranyloxy)-ethyl]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthols (11) and of 7-diazoacetyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthol (17). Intermediates (11) and (17) were prepared by standard procedures from 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro- 7-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid.

2-Hydroxy-6-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-naphthoic acid and its 8- methoxy isomer were converted into trichloroacetate and dichloroacetate derivatives and thence to diazoketones (2), (3), (12) and (13). The acid-catalysed cyclization of these substrates to the dienones (6), (7), (16) and (17), respectively, was then studied. The trichloroacetoxy derivatives gave the best yields of dienones.

Model Reactions

Palladium catalysts have been used to study the hydrogenation of 1-phenyl-2-butene-1-ol which is accompanied by several side reactions considered to be acid-catalysed. Another model reaction studied was dehydration and subsequent hydrogenation or hydrogenolysis of 1-phenyl-1,3-propanediol to 3-phenyl-1-propanol, accompanied by formation of propylbenzene. The dehydration and propylbenzene formation can be again classified as acid-catalysed reactions. Another one is methanolysis of styrene oxide taking place under conditions of liquid phase hydrogenation due to the acid properties of Pd-H systems. Hydrogenation activity of Pd catalysts was tested by hydrogenation of cyclohexene. Sixteen Pd catalysts on different supports and with different content of active component were used, their activity and selectivity was determined and the effect of variable parameters in the synthesis of these catalysts on the activity and selectivity is discussed.

The reduction of several o,o'-dihydroxyazo-compounds is studied by means of pulse polarographic techniques (DPP, NPP and RPP). The compounds studied are the following: 2-(2'-hydroxyphenylazo)-phenol (o,o'-dihydroxyazobenzene), 1-(2'-hydroxy-1'-naphthylazo)-2-naphthol-4-sulphonic acid (calcon or Eriochrome Blue Black R), 1-(2'-hydroxy-4'-sulpho-1'-naphthylazo)-2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid (calcon carboxylic acid), and 1-(1'-hydroxy-2'-naphthylazo)-6-nitro-2-naphthol-4-sulphonic acid (Eriochrome Black T). Correlations between Ip and Epand experimental variables (pH, T, conc.) and instrumental parameters (dropping time, t, and pulse magnitude, ΔE) are established. Reaction mechanisms formerly proposed are discussed on the basis of the new obtained results, and the ranges are defined where adsorption and/or acid-base catalysis are operative.
