Substitution of an ortho-fluoro or methoxy group in 1- and 2-naphthoic acids furnishing substituted naphthoic acids occurs in good to excellent yields upon reaction with alkyl/vinyl/aryl organolithium and Grignard reagents, in the absence of a metal catalyst without the need to protect the carboxyl (CO 2H) group. This novel nucleophilic aromatic substitution is presumed to proceed via a precoordination of the organometallic with the substrate, followed by an addition/elimination.

A synthetic route to 7-acetoxybenzanthracenes is described based on the generation of 1-benzylisobenzofurans and their capture with methyl acrylate in a Diels-Alder reaction.The 1,4-epoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene derivatives so formed are aromatized to naphthoate esters under acidic conditions and hydrolyzed to the naphthoic acids, and these are cyclized to the 7-acetoxybenzanthracenes with zinc chloride in acetic anhydride.
