Studies on the Tandem Reaction of 4‐Aryl‐2,3‐allenoates with Organozinc Reagents: A Facile Route to Polysubstituted Naphthols

Diversified polysubstituted α-naphthols have been efficiently constructed through a tandem reaction of easily available 2,3-allenoates and organozinc reagents in moderate to excellent yields (see scheme). Some of the products may undergo a couple of sequential coupling reactions to afford polysubstituted naphthalenes.
