General syntheses of benzo[b]naphtho[2,3-b]furan-6,11-diones from o-acetylbenzoic acids and 2-benzyl-3-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-diones from o-acetylphenylacetic acids are also reported.acceso abiertoCHEMISTRY ORGANICA New Approach to the Synthesis of Benzo[b]naphtho[2,3-b]furan-6,11-diones and 2-Benzyl-3-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dionesjournal-article
