Versuchsvorschrift
A mixture of 2-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]naphthalen-1-ol (obtained as described above) and 1 g of p-toluenesulphonic acid in 200 mL of benzene was refluxed for 1 h. Then the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and treated with a saturated aqueous solution of Na2CO3. The organic phase was isolated, dried over MgSO4 and evaporated off to dryness. Yield 14.2 g (55% based on starting 2-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]naphtalen-1-one).
