Versuchsvorschrift

22.0 g of 3,4-dihydro-6,7-dimethoxy-2(1H)-naphthalenone were dissolved in 300 ml of dimethylformamide and treated with 13 g of potassium tert.-butylate. The solution was stirred at 18° for 30 minutes. After the addition of 19.7 g of isopropyl iodide the mixture was stirred for a further 30 minutes, whereby the temperature was held below 30°, and then poured into water. The product was extracted with ether, the extract was washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated. The oil which remained behind was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, hexane/ethyl acetate 6:1). There was obtained 3,4-dihydro-6,7-dimethoxy-1-isopropyl-2(1H)-naphthalenone, m.p. 77°-79°.
