Abstract
The oxidation of naphthylcycloalkenes with hydrogen peroxide or MCPBA followed by acid catalyzed rearrangement of diol (epoxide), afforded a series of naphthylcycloalkanones in a very simple manner. The conditions allow preparation of naphthylcycloalkanones on a multigram scale.
Key words
ketones - epoxidations - rearrangements - polycycles - alkenes
