A number of doubly-fused [1,2] naphthodifurans have been synthesized from the corresponding diallyl-dihydroxy naphthalene precursors involving N -iodosuccinimide in acetonitrile and also by molecular iodine in aqueous micelle using CTAB as surfactant. The electrophilic cyclization occurs regioselectively by a 5- exo -trig mode of cyclization.
