Further confirmation that attack of methoxideion at the benzylic Cl and C-4 positions of la prevailsto give 4a was also obtained. The ditosylate 4b was prepared from the diol 4a, and the relevant NMR spectral features characteristic of the latter are retained. Upon treatment with potassium feri-butoxide, 4b is converted to a dimethyl ether identical in all respects with an authentic sample of 1, 4-dimethoxynaphthalene (9). It is noteworthy that naphthalene oxide 2, in contrast to la, undergoes ring-opening at the 2-position by meth-oxide ion and other nucleophiles. 5 This may be attributed to the added allylic character at the C-2 position, which is absent in the case of la.The stereochemical aspects of the interconversion of la to 4a were also studied. It is not surprising that nucleo-philic opening of the oxirane rings of la by sodium methoxide should occur in an SN2 manner with inversion at the 1, 4-positions. That the transformation is highly regioselective may reflect the propensity for benzyl C-0 weakening to precede methoxide binding; ie, the addition
