The solids were filtered, rinsed with ethyl acetate and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed with water twice. The aqueous layers were extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine and dried over sodium sulfate to give 7-bromo-1-methoxynaphthalene (2.5 g, 88%) after chromatography (19:1 heptane/ethyl acetate): 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.49 (d, J=2.1 Hz, 1H), 7.68 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 7.59 (dd, J=8.7, 2.1 Hz, 1H), 7.39-7.43 (m, 2H), 6.85 (dd, J=5.4, 3.0 Hz, 1H), 3.15 (s, 3H).
