The arsenal of synthetic approaches for the preparation of 2-tetralones is analyzed, including: (a) methods involving the direct building of tetralines, generally from monocyclic aromatic precursors; (b) methods involving transformations within a pre-formed tetraline ring or a naphthalene type precursor, and (c) methods based on the ring-expansion of 1-indanones.
