Procedure

28 g (0.16 mol) of 5-methoxy-2-tetralone and 12.5 g (14.5 ml, 0.175 mol) of pyrrolidine were dissolved in 150 ml of toluene. The mixture was boiled on a water separator for 2 hours, cooled, treated with 31.7 g (0.19 mol) of ethyl bromoacetate and boiled under reflux for 2 hours. The mixture was then concentrated, dissolved in 150 ml of ethanol/water (5:1) and again boiled under reflux for 2 hours. The solvent was distilled off in a vacuum and the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate. The solution was washed with water and saturated sodium chloride solution, dried with MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in ether, treated with active charcoal and recrystallized. There were obtained 18.4 g of ethyl rac-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5-methoxy-2-oxo-1-napthylacetate as white crystals. A further 10.3 g of white crystals could be obtained from the mother liquors by chromatography over silica gel with cyclohexane/ethyl acetate (4:1). Total yield: 28.7 g (68%) of white crystals with m.p. 36°-40°.
