✦ Synopsis
Received in USA 25 Jamaxy 1975; xeoelved in UK for publioatlon 17 Maroh 1975) Reaction of naphthalenone Lwith protic acids (such as sulfuric acid In acetic acid or water) gives approximately equal yields of the [3,41 rearrangesent product 2 and the [1,5] rearrangement product &2
These products can both be rorsed by syxmetry allowed suprafacial sigsatropic shifts.3
We have now observed that when &is reacted with a 0.2 M solution of sulfuric acid in acetic auhydride for two hours, it gives products corresponding to neither gnor 3_ Instead, the rearrangement product 4 is obtained in 60% yield, accaapauied by the cleavage product lmethyl-P-naphthyl acetate. =.

The normal dienoue-phenol rearrangements of linearly-conjugated cyclohexadienones (e.g., &+2) are prevented in the a-naphthalenone I.\* Instead, a methyl group in 1 migrates to the carbonyl carbon to give carbonium ion 4, which then gives rise to the naph-thy1 acetate 2. No further migration of a me
