反応手順

To a stirred solution of methyl 2-methoxynaphthoate (1.0 g, 4.6 mmol) and tert-butyl alcohol (0.44 ml, 4.6 mmol) at −78° C. was added liquid ammonia (20 mL). Potassium metal was added in small pieces until the solution stayed dark blue for 30 min. Isoamyl iodide (1.9 mL, 14.8 mmol) was added dropwise (the blue coloration disappeared about half-way through addition) and stirring was continued for 1 hour at −78° C. The solution was allowed to warm to room temperature and purged with nitrogen to remove excess ammonia. To the resulting slurry a solution of saturated sodium bicarbonate (100 mL) was added, and the solution was extracted with ether (3× 50 mL). The combined organic phases were washed with 10% Na2S2O3 (aq), dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated in vacuo. Column chromatography on silica (5%-15% ethyl acetate/hexane) afforded product as a light yellow oil (1.1 g, 85%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 0.55 (m, 1H), 0.75 (dd, J=14.71, 6.62 Hz, 6H), 0.88 (m, 1H), 1.39 (m, 1H), 2.06 (m, 1H), 2.27 (m, 1H), 3.55 (d, J=3.31 Hz, 2H), 3.60 (s, 3H), 3.61 (s, 3H), 5.05 (t, J=3.68 Hz, 1H), 7.16 (m, 4H); MS m/z 289.0 (M+H)+.
