Procedure
To a DMF solution (30 mL) of 8-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-naphthalene-2-carboxylic acid (5.0 g, 24 mmol) was added MeI (7.1 g, 50 mmol) and K2CO3 (6.9 g, 50 mmol). The mixture was allowed to stir overnight and ethyl acetate (200 mL) was added. The resulting solution was washed with water (3×50 mL) and brine (50 mL) to provide 8-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-naphthalene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (6.6 g).
Workup
- washThe resulting solution was washed with water (3×50 mL) and brine (50 mL)
