Abstract
A novel stereochemical approach is employed in anodic oxidation of nap hthalene derivatives to discriminate the intramolecular radical additi on vs, intermolecular radical addition paths; the contribution of the latter is revealed to be important,judging from the stereodifferentiat ing addition of MeOH at C-4 during the anodic oxidation of -(3'-hydrox y-1'-methylbutoxy)-4-methylnaphthalene.
