Abstract
Condensation of 4-methoxy-2,6-dimethylbenzaldehyde with Meldrum's acid , and flash vacuum pyrolysis of the condensation product (12) gave in almost quantitative yield 7-methoxy-5-methyl-2-naphthol (9). This naph thol is a precursor of the title l-carboxylic acid (6),(1) an intercal ating moiety of enediyne and other antibiotics.
