Reaction Steps

The synthesis process is as set forth in the chemical reaction formula below. The TiCl4 in the reaction path stands for titanium chloride. To 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-hydroxy-5,5,8,8-tetramethylnaphthalene (409 mg, 2.00 mmol) were added titanium chloride (417 mg, 2.20 mmol) and pivaloyl chloride (361 mg, 2.99 mmol) followed by stirring at 120° C. for 1 hour. The reaction solution was diluted by dichloromethane, and the organic layer was washed by water, a saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate aq. solution, and a saturated saline solution, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography using hexane/ethyl acetate (40/3) as an elution solvent. The yield was 53.6 mg (9.0%).
