Abstract

Substrates bearing both a β-ketoester moiety and a (het)aryl halide structure element were dimerized to 1-naphthols and related products in the presence of catalytic amounts of CuI in isopropanol. The reaction starts with an intermolecular C-arylation, which is followed by an intramolecular condensation. The final aromatization delivers the highly substituted products with yields up to 81%.
