Reaction Steps

Combine naphth-2-ylacetonitrile (1.0 g, 6.0 mmol) and nickel(II) chloride hexahydrate (0.7 g, 3.0 mmol) and tetrahydrofuran (30 ml). Add dropwise borane-tetrahydrofuran complex, 1M solution in tetrahydrofuran (24.0 ml, 24.0 mmol). After 1 hour, evaporate to give a residue. Chromatograph on silica gel eluting with 8:2 EtOAc:MeOH+2% NH4OH) to give the title compound.
