Procedure

To a solution of 6-hydroxy-3,4-dihydro-1(2H)-naphthalenone (2.0 g, 12.3 mmol) and (2-bromoethyl)benzene (4.8 g, 25.8 mmol) in ACN (20 mL) was added potassium carbonate (3.4 g, 24.6 mmol) at rt. The solution was heated at reflux overnight. The reaction was filtered, concentrated, and purified by silica gel chromatography (PE/EtOAc/DCM=10:1:2) to give 2.0 g (61%) of the title compound as a brown oil. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 2.08-2.16 (2H, m), 2.62 (2H, t, J=6.3 Hz), 2.92 (2H, t, J=6.3 Hz), 3.13 (2H, t, J=7.2 Hz), 2.92 (2H, t, J=7.2 Hz), 6.71 (1H, d, J=2.1 Hz), 6.83 (1H, dd, J=2.4, 8.7 Hz), 7.27-7.38 (5H, m), 8.01 (1H, dd, J=8.7 Hz).
