Preparation of 6-bromo-1-chloro-2-naphthol 4 from the corresponding 6-bromo-2-naphthol 3 is described in the literature (Buu-Hoi, JOC 1951, 16, 185), Scheme II. 6-Bromo-1-methyl-2-naphthol 7 was prepared as depicted in reaction Scheme II. Reaction of 6-bromo-2-naphthol 3 with aqueous dimethyl amine and aqueous formaldehyde in alcohol afforded the Mannich product 5. Reaction of 5 with acetyl chloride in methylene chloride or chloroform afforded the acetate 6. Hydride reduction of 6 in a solvent such as ethanol followed by basic work-up yielded the desired 6-bromo-1-methyl-2-naphthol 7.
