Water → 6-Bromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-bromo-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one (1.0 g, 4.4 mmol) in ethanol (10 mL) was added sodium borohydride (0.8 g, 21 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 0.5 hour. After the reaction, the mixture was poured into water (100 mL) and the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (100 mL). The organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give the pure product 6-bromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-ol (1.0 g, 100%).
