Abstract

Summary: Irradiation of 1-naphthol (la) and its 2-alkyl and 6-methoxy derivatives lb-d with 5 equiv of AlCl, or A1Br3 in CH2C12 gave (chloromethy1) indanones 4a-d in 41-72% yields. Irradiation of la with A1Br3 in CHzBrz afforded (bromomethy1) indanone 5a in 54%. 3- Methyl derivative le was unreactive and 4-methyl derivative If underwent isomerization to le.
