Abstract

RECEIVEII FEBRUARY ti. 1922-4 series of 2-naphthyl ethers have been reduced electrolytically to the corresponding enol ethers in high yield. The method offers enhanced selectivity, and this case appears to be one of the first practical reductions of a polynuclear carbocyclic aromatic system by a direct electrochemical process
