Reactions of phthalans with dienophiles. II. Synthesis of naphthalenes and dihydronaphthalenes by reaction of ethyl maleate and maleic anhydride with 1,1-diethoxyphthalan
Keyword(s):
The reactions of 1,1-diethoxyphthalan with diethyl maleate and with maleic anhydride have been studied. The reaction with diethyl maleate in a sealed tube gave a mixture of diethyl 1-hydroxynaphthalene-2,3-dicarboxylate and its O-ethyl derivative. The same reactants at atmospheric pressure gave the ethoxy ester above along with a mixture of isomeric diethyl 1,2-dihydro-1-hydroxy-4-ethoxynaphthalene-2,3-dicarboxylates. The reaction with maleic anhydride gave only diethyl-1-ethoxynaphthalene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid anhydride. These reactions provide further insight into the mechanism of the reaction of phthalans with dienophiles.
