Reaktionsschritte

To a flame-dried flask containing 8.0 mL of dry tetrahydrofuran under an argon atmosphere cooled to -78° C. Is added 4.0 mL (3.0 M) of a solution of ethylmagnesium bromide in tetrahydrofuran. The stirrable mixture is treated with a solution of 1.36 g of commercially available 1-naphthaldehyde in 4.0 mL of tetrahydrofuran with a 2 mL rinse. The reaction is stirred at -78° C. for 5 minutes then warmed to room temperature. After 1 hour the mixture is re-cooled to 0° C., carefully quenched with saturated ammonium chloride, and diluted with diethyl ether. The layers are separated; organic phase washed with brine, dried (magnesium sulfate), and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is flash column chromatographed using 25% ethyl acetate in hexane to give 1.76 g of the title product as a pale pink oil.
