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.
