Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 5,6-dihydronaphthalene-1-carboxylate (0.276 g, 1.466 mmol) in methanol (30 ml) was added 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (8.80 ml, 8.80 mmol) and the mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 8 hrs. The reaction solution was diluted with water, acidified with dilute hydrochloric acid 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 residue was crystallized from hexane to give the objective substance.
