Summary
The condensation of α-naphthol and phenyl acetyl chloride gave mainly 2-phenyl acetyl-1-naphthol and 4-phenyl acetyl-1-naphthol in small quantity. The former was brominated, nitrated, reduced, and acetylated by the Kostanecki method to give the pyrone. An attempt to prepare 4-phenylacetyl-1-naphthol the latter by dimethylation of 1-methoxy-4-phenylacetyl-naphthalene did not meet with success.
