To the stirred mixture is added via the dropping funnel a hot solution of naphthalene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (4.32 g, 0.020 mole) in THF (200 mL) over a period of about 1 hour. The resulting mixture is stirred without heating for 90 minutes and then is heated to reflux temperature. After 2 hours, additional LiAlH4 (40 mL of a 1.15M solution in THF) is added and refluxing continued for 90 minutes. The reaction is stirred at room temperature overnight, then is quenched carefully with THF-water (3:1), acidified to pH <4 with 2N hydrogen chloride, transferred to a separatory funnel and extracted (3 times) with ether. The combined ether extracts are washed with water (2 times), dried (sodium sulfate), filtered, and concentrated to give a white solid (3.68 g). The solid is crystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane, giving (2.68 g) as white crystals, mp 124°-126° C.
