%X Condensation of 4-methoxy-2,6-dimethylbenzaldehyde with Meldrum's acid, and flash vacuum pyrolysis of the condensation product (12) gave in almost quantitative yield 7-methoxy-5-methyl-2-naphthol (9). This naphthol is a precursor of the title 1-carboxylic acid (6), an intercalating moiety of enediyne and other antibiotics.
