The synthesis and some chemical reactions of a 5a-methyl 2H-naphtho[1,8-bc]furan

Abstract
A synthesis of the tricycle 19 has been completed in 14% overall yield from guaiacol. Several chemical transformations of this compound including its reduction to an octahydro naphtho[1,8-bc]furan and conversion to the hitherto unknown azuleno-[8,1-bc]furan ring system are described.
