Reaktionsschritte

1-naphthol was converted into 2-bromo-1-naphthol by reaction with a slurry of N-bromo-t-butylamine at -78° C. according to the procedure described in Pearson, Wysong, Breder, J. Org. Chem., 32, 2358 (1967). To a solution of 1 mole (crude) of the bromonaphthol in 750 mL of acetone was added 175 g of potassium carbonate. Over a 2-hour period, 95 mL of dimethylsulfate was added dropwise to the mechanically stirred reaction mixture. The resulting slurry was stirred at 25° C. overnight. The solids were filtered and the solution was stripped to yield a dark brown oil. Initial purification was accomplished by vacuum distillation (80-120° C., 0.2 Torr) followed by further purification by HPLC with hexane to yield 145 g of 2-bromo-1-methoxynaphthalene as a pale yellow oil. NMR confirmed the structure.
