Abstract

Formylation of certain 2-alkylnaphtho[2,1-b]furans is shown to occur in the naphthalene rather than the furan ring. Acetylation gives a mixture of isomers. Hydrolysis of the 1-(acetoxyethylidene)furan-2-one does not give the 2-methyl-1-carboxylic acid. In contrast in the 2-methylnaphtho[1,2-b]furan series, the formylation-oxidation route and the acetoxyethylidenefuranone rearrangement both give the 2-methyl-3-carboxylic acid.
