RESUMO
Herein, we report alkylative aromatization of tetralone for the synthesis of bioactive naphthols and benzo[e/g]indole derivatives using alcohols in the presence of NaOH via an aerobic oxidative cross-coupling protocol. This is a general and transition-metal-free method, which uses an inexpensive base, avoids inert conditions, and furnishes water and hydrogen peroxide as the byproducts. Moreover, this method demonstrated with wide substrate scope and obtained exclusive regioselectivity.
