Synthesis of 3,4,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalene-1,5(2H,6H)-dione

A short and high yielding route for the preparation of the title compound, starting from commercially available 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene, is described. The key step in the sequence is the air oxidation of a bis(trimethylsilyloxy)diene precursor.
