Hydrochloric Acid → 1,4-Dihydro-2-phenylsulfony-1,4-ethanonaphthalene

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.3 g (0.91 mmol) of the obtained 2-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-phenylsulfonyl-1,4-ethanonaphthalene and 15 ml of anhydrous THF was cooled to 0° C., added with 2.5 ml of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-7-undecene and stirred for 30 minutes. The solution is then added with a dilute hydrochloric acid solution, extracted with chloroform, washed with distilled water, an aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and saturated saline and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. The product was purified with silica gel column chromatography (chloroform) to obtain 1,4-dihydro-2-phenylsulfony-1,4-ethanonaphthalene (0.264 g, 0.89 mmol, yield: 98%).
