Reaction Steps

To a cooled (0° C.), stirred suspension of 5-chloro-2-naphthoic acid (1.10 g, 5.32 mmol) in THF (10 mL) was added BH3.THF (1M in THF, 7.50 mL, 7.50 mmol) over 10 minutes. The resulting mixture was then heated under reflux for 1 hour 30 minutes, recooled to 0° C., and saturated aqueous K2CO3 (4 mL) was added. H2O (20 mL) was added and the mixture was extracted with ether. The combined extracts were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated to give a pale yellow solid (0.94 g, 97%), m.p. 72°-75° C.
