Participants

Reaction Steps

While stirring ethyl 5-amino-1-naphthoate (1.358 g, 6.309 mmol) in conc. hydrochloric acid (10 ml), a solution of sodium nitrite (0.52 g, 7.57 mmol) in water (1 ml) was added dropwise under ice-cooling and the mixture was stirred at said temperature for 0.5 hr. To the reaction solution was added a solution of copper(I) chloride (0.34 g, 3.47 mmol) in conc. hydrochloric acid (2 ml) under ice-cooling, and the mixture. was stirred at 100° C. for 0.5 hr. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction solution was diluted with water and extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The collected organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=15/1) to give the objective substance.
