Ionic Hydrogenation of Disubstituted Naphthalenes with BF3.H2O - Et3SiH

A number of dimethoxy-substituted naphthalenes and their derivatives are reduced using Et3SiH or Et3SiD in boron trifluoride monohydrate. Reaction mechanisms are discussed on the basis of ionic deuteration experiments. The mode of protonation of the starting compounds is rationalized in terms of proton affinities calculated using MNDO calculations.
