Reaktionsschritte

To a cooled (0° C.) solution of methyl 5-cyano-1-naphthylcarboxylate (1 g, 5 mmol) in 20 mL anhydrous THF was added DIBAL (1M in hexane, 20 mL, 20 mmol) via syringe. The mixture was then kept between 50-60° C. overnight. The mixture was then cooled to room temperature. The mixture was poured into a cold (0° C.) solution of 2 N HCl (100 mL). The product was extracted with ether (2×). The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. Silica gel column chromatography using hexane/ethyl acetate (2/1) gave the 0.85 g (91%) of the product.
