Procedure

A solution of N,N,N',N'-tetramethylenediamine (18.12 mL, 0.120 mole) in cyclohexane (36 mL) was treated with n-butyllithium (1.55M in hexane; 79.8 mL, 0.123 mole) at room temperature. A solution of 1-methoxynaphthalene (17.4 mL, 0.120 mole) in cyclohexane (20 mL) was added over 30 minutes, and the resulting solution was stirred for 1.5 hours. It was then cooled to 0°, and 1-bromo-4-chlorobutane (27.0 mL, 0.234 mole) was added over 15 minutes. The mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 17 hours, then poured into saturated aqueous ammonium chloride and extracted with ethyl acetate. The crude product was chromatographed with 98:2 hexane/ether to provide the title compound (11.60 g, 39%) as a pale yellow oil.
