本篇論文主要是研究3-苯乙烯基呋喃在鹼性條件下進行光重排反應合成2-甲基萘化合物。利用Wittig和Wittig-Horner方法合成一系列3-苯乙烯基呋喃衍生物，在含0.09M KOH的甲醇/水(19/1)溶液及含0.023M DBU、0.018M乙醇的苯溶液兩種條件下進行照光反應都能得到2-甲基萘化合物，產率約(20~61%)。
此新的光化學反應的反應機構：一開始經由順反異構化反應轉成順式起始物(1)，接著進行六電子環化反應形成中間物，在鹼催化反應下進行除去反應形成萘結構的中間體，再經由質子化反應、烯醇與醛的轉換而得到萘基乙醛中間體，最後再進行Norrish Type 1的光反應而得到產物2-甲基萘化合物。
利用還原劑NaBH4的甲醇/KOH水溶液下進行照光反應，證明反應中間體2-(萘-2-基)乙醛的存在。也利用加熱反應確認反應只會經由照光形成，並用文獻說明各種反應結果，包括取代基效應、溴取代的脫溴反應…等。

This thesis studies on photorearrangement of 3-styrylfurans to synthesize 2-methylnaphthalenes in basic media. A series of reactants, 3-styrylfurans, was synthesized by Wittig or Wittig-Horner reactions. Irradiation of these reactants in methanol/water (19/1) with 0.09 M KOH or in benzene with 0.018 M ethanol and 0.023 M DBU gives 2-methylnaphthalenes with 20~61% yields.
A plausible reaction mechanism of this novel photochemical reaction describes as follow: trans-3-styrylfuran undergoes cis/trans isomerization reaction to give cis-3-styrylfuran. Then 6e photocyclization of cis-3-styrylfuran leads a dihydrophenanthrene-type intermediate. This intermediate subsequently progress a base-induced elimination reaction to produce an intermediate with a naphthalene structure. After protonation and tautomerization, naphthlen-2-yl-acetaldehyde is formed as another intermediate. Finally, a Norrish Type 1 reaction happens to give 2-methylnaphthalenes
We have proved the presence of naphthlen-2-yl-acetaldehyde by irradiation of 3-styrylfuran with NaBH4 in methanol/KOH solution. We also confirmed this transformation is a photochemical reaction by thermal reaction of 3-styrylfuran at 70℃ in the same solvent condition. Some special reaction results, for example substitution effect and debromination of 3-(4’-bromostyryl)fruan..etc, have also been discussed in accordance of a few of literatures.
