The metal-ammonia reduction of 1-acetylnaphthalenes

1-Acetyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalene appears to be the usual reduction product of the reaction without mention of any detection of the expected 1,4-dihydro product. However, sodium-ammonia reductions of 1-acetylnaphthalene and its 4-methyl and 4-ethyl derivatives provide the corresponding 1,4-dihydro pro...

Zusammenfassung:1-Acetyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalene appears to be the usual reduction product of the reaction without mention of any detection of the expected 1,4-dihydro product. However, sodium-ammonia reductions of 1-acetylnaphthalene and its 4-methyl and 4-ethyl derivatives provide the corresponding 1,4-dihydro products in essentially quantitative yields. These products appear to be stable and no facile conversion to the conjugated isomers was noted.
