✦ Synopsis

A Straightforward Synthesis of 1,2-Dihydronaphtho[2,1-b]furans from 2-Naphthols.

-The following mechanism for the furan synthesis is discussed: Michael-type addition of a naphthalenolates (I) to acrylates is followed -after aromatization and formation of the 2-naphthalenolate anion -by an intramolecular nucleophilic substitution. -(ARRAULT, AXELLE;
