Procedure

To a vigorously stirred solution, maintained under nitrogen, containing 277 mmol of 8-chloro-3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-naphthalenone in 350 ml of methanol and 170 ml of water are successively added 282 mmol of potassium cyanide and 290 mmol of ammonium chloride. After stirring for 48 hours at 20° C., the mixture is concentrated. The residue is taken up in ethyl acetate. This organic phase is washed with water and extracted with 1N hydrochloric acid. The acidic phases are basified with 35% sodium hydroxide and extracted with ethyl acetate. The expected product is obtained, in solid form, after drying and evaporating the organic phases.
