Abstract
N-Tosylated phenylalanine derivatives in benzene in the presence of su lfuric acid afforded 2-arylnaphthalene derivatives in moderate yields. The reaction might proceed via the corresponding decarbonylated N-tos ylimine derivatives. Aldol type reaction of N-tosylimines followed by intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction and elimination of p-toluenesul fonamide gave 2-arylnaphthalenes. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
