Notes:
Substituted dihydroxystilbenes 2 are suitable starting materials for the synthesis of photochromic systems derived from 3/4. Attempts to couple the naphthones 8a-8e by the McMurry reaction with TiCl3/LiAlH4 yielded mainly reduction products such as 8f, g or 9. However, the furofuran 3b was isolated when using the zinc-copper couple for reduction. The helicene 11 was formed as an unexpected by-product in the McMurry reaction of the pivaloylnaphthalene 8d.
