Versuchsvorschrift
To a solution of 6-methoxy-1-methylnaphthalene (6.4 g) in dichloromethanie (500 ml), cooled to -60° C., was added boron tribromide (45 ml of a 1M solution in dichloromethane). The resulting mixture was stirred at -60° C. for 3 hours. The reaction was quenched with water (500 ml) and extracted with dichloromethane (2x500 ml). The organic extracts were combined, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to give a solid. Purification by flash column chromatography on silica, eluting with ethyl acctate/hexane (5:95 v/v) gave 6-methyl-2-naphthol (3.76 g) as a white solid. This was used without further characterisation.
