RESUMEN
Herein, we describe a two-step ring expansion of 1-indanones to afford 2-chloro/bromo-1-naphthols (32 examples). The developed method shows broad functional group tolerance, benefits from mild reaction conditions, and enables rapid access to the tetracyclic core of gilvocarcin natural products. The orthogonally functionalized products allow for selective postmodifications as exemplified in the total synthesis of defucogilvocarcin M. For the selective oxidation of the chromene, a mild and regioselective oxidation protocol (DDQ and TBHP) was developed.
