Reaction Steps

2-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol (5.0 g) and 1,2-dihydronaphthalene (5.2 g.) were heated together at 190° for 2 hr. the reaction mixture was chromatographed on neutral alumina, eluting with toluene/60°-80° petroleum ether 1:1to give a solid product which was recrystallised from ethanol to yield colourless crystals of cis-5,6,6a,12a-tetrahydro-7H-benzo(c)xanthene(0.65 g., m.pt. 71°-72°)identified and characterised by 1H- and 13C n.m.r. spectra.
