Abstract: 2,3-Naphthalenediol (7) undergoes selective ionic hydrogenation with cyclohexane in the presence of excess AlCl3 or AlBr3 to afford 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2,3-naphthalenediol (8). Compound 8 can be further converted into 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,2-naphthalenediol (9) and pyrocatechol (10). The discovered reactions represent new and efficient synthetic approaches to produce difficult to obtain derivatives of 7. The mechanistic aspects of the reactions, and the potential involvement of superelectrophilic dicationic intermediates, are discussed.
