Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of aluminum chloride (1.62 g) in carbon disulfide (25 ml) was added with acetyl chloride (1.00 ml) at −10° C. The mixture was stirred at −10° C. for 20 minutes, and then slowly added with 3a-methyl-2,3,3a,4,5,6-hexahydro-1H-phenalene (1.74 g) dissolved in carbon disulfide (15 ml), and the temperature of the mixture was gradually elevated to room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes, and then poured into ice water, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed successively with water and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (developing solvent: ethyl acetate:n-hexane=1:500) to obtain 1-(6a-methyl-5,6,6a,7,8,9-hexahydro-4H-1-phenalenyl)ethanone (1.63 g, yield: 77%) and the title compound (0.465 g, yield: 22%). The compound was recrystallized from n-hexane to obtain colorless prisms (melting point: 100-101.5° C.).
