1-ACYL-2-(SUBSTITUTED PHENYL)NAPHTHALENE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an efficient method for producing 1-acyl-2-(substituted phenyl)naphthalene.SOLUTION: There is provided 1-acyl-2-(substituted phenyl)naphthalene represented by the formula (3) by reacting 1-acylnaphthalene and a substituted phenyl boronate ester using a ruthenium catalyst in the presence of an alkali metal salt or a substituted phenyl boronic acid in the coexistence of a diol (wherein, Rrepresents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; each Ris the same or different and represents a hydrogen atom or the like; and each Ris the same or different and represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or the like.)
