Reaktionsschritte

6.0 g of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-[[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]methyl]-1-naphthalenol (prepared as described in Example 1) is suspended in 24 ml of 20% sulfuric acid/acetic acid and the mixture is heated on a steam bath for 15 minutes. The reaction mixture is then cooled room temperature, diluted with water (200 ml) and then made alkaline to pH 8 using sodium bicarbonate solution. The alkaline suspension is extracted with two 250 ml portions of methylene chloride and the organic phase is back-washed with water (250 ml), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The syrup obtained solidifies upon addition of a minimal amount of ether to yield 5.6 g of the title compound, melting point 84°-85° C.
