Abstract
Dehydration of 1-substituted-1,2-tetralindiols with zinc iodide a orded the corresponding 2-tetralones
in excellent yields. This procedure was found to be superior to the more conventional BF3-catalyzed
rearrangement of 1-substituted-1,2-epoxytetralins. # 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved
