Reaktionsschritte

6-Methoxytetralone (50 g, 280 mmol) was suspended in glacial acetic acid (250 mL). Hydrobromic acid (47%; 500 mL) was added and the mixture was heated at reflux for 6 h, cooled to room temperature, and poured onto 500 g of crushed ice. After 1 h the precipitate was collected and recrystalized from ethanol to provide 32 g of 6-hydroxytetralone. Concentration of the mother liquor provided an additional 9 g of product, mp 149°-152° C.; 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ7.80 (d, 1H), 6.78 (d, 1H), 6.68 (s, 1H), 2.90 (t, 2H), 2.55 (t, 2H), 2.05 (m, 2H).
