Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of 4.15 g (55.5 mmol) NaHSO3, 8 mL of water, 0.78 g (4.19 mmol) of 1-(6-hydroxy-2-naphthyl)-1-ethanone (prepared as described in Example 1(b)), and 8 mL of 2-methylaminoethanol was heated and stirred in a steel bomb at 140° C. for 28 hours. After cooling, the mixture was distributed between ethyl acetate and water (500 mL and 200 mL, respectively). The organic layer was dried and evaporated to leave raw 1-(6-(2-hydroxyethyl-methylamino)-2-naphthyl)-1-ethanone (0.749 g, 73%) of which was further purified by radial chromatography (4 mm SiO3, CH2Cl2).
