Pd(II)-catalyzed Formal O-H Insertion Reactions of Diazonaphthoquinones to Acetic Acid: Synthesis of 1,2-Naphthalenediol Derivatives
Pd(II)-catalyzed formal O-H insertion reaction of diazonaphthoquinones to acetic acid proceeded to afford 1,2-naphthalenediol monoacetates. In the presence of lithium halides, halonaphthols were obtained under the reaction conditions.
