Reaction Steps

To 44.8 g of 6-bromo-2-naphthol were added 120 ml of toluene and 8.8 g of sodium hydroxide, followed by stirring at 65° C. for 30 minutes. Then, thereto was added dropwise 11.4 g of acrylonitrile at 80° C., followed by stirring at the same temperature for 3.5 hours. After left for cooling, the toluene layer was decanted, and to the residue was added 240 ml of water. A small amount of insoluble matter was filtered off, and to the filtrate was added 140 ml of 5% hydrochloric acid. The precipitate was collected by filtration and sufficiently washed with water. The resulting crude product was recrystallized from ethanol to obtain 30.7 g of the desired product.
