Abstract

An operationally simple and metal-free crosscoupling of quinone monoacetals (QMAs) with 2-naphthols catalyzed by triflic acid is reported, This formal 3+2] annulation allowed the synthesis of diverse naphtho2,1b]benzofuran derivatives in moderate to good yields. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal the initial nucleophilic substitution of QMAs with 2-naphthols in preference to die mixed acetal formation and subsequent. 3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement.
